Descrizione
Starting and ending in the historic town of Wareham, this easy going circular birding walk, also known as The Two Rivers Walk along the bank River Frome overlooking reedbed, marshland, fresh water pools to Swineham Gravel Pit. Along this section in spring & summer you will often hear a burst of song from a Usignolo di fiume , be seranaded by a Cannaiola / Forapaglie comune or the repetative call of a Luì piccolo . In Autumn and winter this is replaced by the cry of a Chiurlo maggiore , the peewit of Pavoncella or the honks & cackle of Geese. In Spring and Autumn the floodfields attract a variety of waders such as Combattente , Pittima reale , Piro piro culbianco , Beccaccino , Corriere piccolo and rarer species like Piovanello pettorale , Gambecchio comune or Gambecchio nano .
The Gravel Pit holds a variety of wildfowl, especially in winter with Germano reale , Moretta , Folaga , Canapiglia , and Svasso maggiore . The reedbed at the back of the pit is also a staging post for Tarabuso in March.
Swineham point overlooks a reedbed, saltmarsh and has extended views over the Wareham Channel & Arne Moor. From this viwpoint you have a great chance to see Falco di palude , Lodolaio , Falco pellegrino , Smeriglio , Falco pescatore , Albanella reale and Aquila di mare . But do listen out for the unmistakable ching ching call of Basettino in the reedbed.
The footpath then continues around the gravel pit into the Lower Piddle Valley, which are a series of flood fields. Please see Birdingplace https://www.birdingplaces.eu/en/birdingplaces/united-kingdom/lower-piddle-valley-flood-fields
Once you leave the floodfields the footpath takes you through a small area of woodland where you can see a wide variety of birds such as Capinera , Fiorrancino , Picchio muratore and Rampichino alpestre .
Then it's just a gentle stroll back to the town of Wareham.
