Descripción
The RSPB Loch Gruinart Reserve has two hides and a visitor centre. In the spring the fields come alive with breeding wader displays including Avefría Europea, Archibebe Común and drumming Agachadiza común. Guión de Codornices calls can be heard from mid-May and Aguilucho pálido can be seen displaying on the moorland. In Autumn, Barnacla Cariblanca and Ánsar careto arrive in numbers around 30,000 from Greenland, this arrival attracts many Pigargo Europeo to the Loch. Waders such as Correlimos Tridáctilo, Correlimos Común, Chorlitejo Grande, Chorlito Dorado Europeo and Aguja Colipinta can be seen through the autumn and winter using the loch. Wintering wildfowl such as Silbón Europeo, Ánade rabudo norteño, Cerceta Común and Cisne Cantor spend the winter in front of the hides.
