Description
Crook of Baldoon is a breathtaking panorama of saltmarsh, mudflats and hills. Cairnsmore of Fleet and the Galloway Hills act as a backdrop to wild saltmarsh and mudflats with a rich birdlife. Between December and March thousands of winter visitors such as Oie à bec court and Bernache nonnette geese and a large number of Tadorne de Belon, Cygne chanteur and Cygne tuberculé feed and roost in the area. In the hawthorn and crab apple trees you might see hundreds of Grive mauvis and Grive litorne. Along the upper saltmarsh there are Traquet motteux, Pipit farlouse and Alouette des champs, as well as Linotte mélodieuse and Chardonneret élégant. The area is also a breeding habitat for Vanneau huppé and Chevalier gambette.
