Descrizione
Geltsdale is a remote and ruggedly beautiful nature reserve that encompasses two hill farms - Geltsdale and Tarnhouse. The blanket bogs, heath, upland farmland and woods of Geltsdale support a great diversity of wildlife. Many breeding birds are found here, including Fagiano di monte, Piviere dorato, Chiurlo maggiore, Merlo dal collare, Smeriglio and Gufo di palude. And the reserve is one of only a handful of nesting sites of Albanella reale in England. Tarnhouse Farm is one of two large farms on the reserve. Fagiano di monte and the breeding waders - Pavoncella, Pettegola and Beccaccino - have all increased significantly, thanks to sensitive farming, particularly cattle grazing and wetland creation.
