Description
Winter is the best time to visit Hayle, as the number of birds in the estuary can be up to 18,000. Among the gull flocks, you can find медитерански галеб, мал галеб, жолтоног галеб, Iceland Gull, Glaucous Gull or even an American vagrant like a Ring-billed Gull. American патка берија and American Wigeon can also be seen among the thousands of native teals and патка свиркач. In autumn and winter, among the more common waders, including many златно блатарче, there could be црна тринга, чапја лажичарка, белокрстен свиркач, мал свиркач, шумска тринга, бојник or an American wader like a Pectoral Sandpiper. Several different tern species can be seen on spring passage. The estuary is best viewed from the causeway bridge or the path around Carnsew Pool, which is favoured by голем северен нуркач and среден северен нуркач. All five of the world's diver species have also been seen there. The area is also good for рибарче and it's worth visiting the hide at Ryan's field for a chance to see one as well as the resident голем српоклун свиркач. In late summer, you may see an орел рибар visiting the estuary if you're very lucky.
