Opis
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 mewa czarnogłowa, mewa mała, mewa romańska, mewa polarna, mewa blada or even an American vagrant like a mewa delawarska. American cyraneczka and swistun amerykanski can also be seen among the thousands of native teals and świstun. In autumn and winter, among the more common waders, including many siewka złota, there could be brodziec śniady, warzęcha, biegus krzywodzioby, biegus malutki, łęczak, batalion or an American wader like a biegus arktyczny. 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 nurogęś and szlachar. All five of the world's diver species have also been seen there. The area is also good for zimorodek and it's worth visiting the hide at Ryan's field for a chance to see one as well as the resident kulik wielki. In late summer, you may see an rybołów visiting the estuary if you're very lucky.
