Description
Drumpellier Country Park offers a diverse mix of habitats, including woodlands, wetlands, open water, and grasslands, making it a fantastic birdwatching spot year-round. The park’s lochs and marshes attract Knoppsvane, Dvergdykker, Sothøne and Toppand, while reedbeds provide a home for Sivsanger and Sivspurv in spring and summer. Toppdykker can often be seen performing their courtship displays.
Woodlands around the park are alive with Flaggspett, Trekryper, and Stjertmeis. In winter, flocks of Rødvingetrost and Gråtrost arrive, while the occasional Musvåk or Spurvehauk can be spotted overhead.
With scenic trails and a variety of bird species, Drumpellier is a perfect spot for both beginners and experienced birdwatchers.
