Description
Cardiff Bay is good for birds all year round. Residents include Kameničak, Mrka Crvenrepka, Sjeverna trepteljka and Veliki ronac. The first can be seen on the green walkways in groups, whilst the rest can be seen basking on the rocky edges.
Bregunica, Piljak and Čiopa can all be seen in summer. Piljak nest in ready-made boxes under the eaves of houses by the roundabout barrage entrance. Bregunica nest in the walls of the bay.
Oštrigar can be seen on the barrage all year round, as well as Crvenonoga Prutka. Zelendur is another resident around the bay. When the tide goes out, many species, such as Utva can be seen feeding.
Winter visitors include Mali Galeb. However, check sightings before going as they tend to move around a lot. Finally, rarities include Crnogrli Gnjurac, Patka ledara and Ring-necked Duck.
