Descripción
Whiteford Burrows and Sands are inaccessible to motor vehicles, hence quiet and undisturbed. 250 species of plants grow in the dunes. To the east, the marshes and mudflats are a winter home to 600 Barnacla Carinegra, 5,000 Correlimos Común, 13,000 Ostrero Euroasiático, 2,500 Chorlito Dorado Europeo and numerous Zarapito Real, Correlimos Gordo and godwits. Bear in mind that wading birds may be far out in the stuary at low tide. High tide is best (see a link to the tide table below). Possible other sightings can include sea ducks, Garceta Común, Éider común, Ánade rabudo norteño and Cuchara Común. Cwm Ivy woods and marshes host breeding warblers, Escribano Palustre, Busardo ratonero and Cárabo Común.
To the west of Cwm Ivy there are bone caves once inhabited by neolithic man, and at extreme low tides the derelict lighthouse may be visited. Always check tide times before walking out on the intertidal areas.
