Opis
Colne Point is a Site of Special Scientific Interest and famous for breeding rybitwa białoczelna, a very important species all over the country. Any breeding site is important and The Essex Wildlife Trust do all they can to protect this site in the rybitwa białoczelna nesting season.
Also the marshes can be the hunting grounds for wintering raptors such as, sokół wędrowny, błotniak stawowy, błotniak zbożowy, uszatka błotna and drzemlik, all taking advantage of the large numbers of over wintering ducks, geese and waders.
The site overlooks the mouth of the Colne Estuary and the usual shoreline species such as ohar, rycyk, szlamnik, krwawodziób, ostrygojad, szlachar, bernikla obrożna and świstun can be seen. Also divers and grebes can be seen off shore in the winter months.
In the breeding season rybitwa białoczelna will hopefully return to there shingle beach along side other species, rybitwa rzeczna sieweczka obrożna and sieweczka rzeczna. Other breeding birds include ostrygojad and krwawodziób.
Over the winter finches and other small passerines can be found in good numbers. for example makolągwa, skowronek, rzepołuch, śnieżka and even the chance of górniczek.
This is a very important nature reserve and does have visiting restrictions , but would be well worth the time taken to arrange a visit to this very special area of the country.
