Descrição
Martin Mere is a Site of Special Interest. The name of the centre comes from the mere on the west side of the reserve, which is ringed by more than ten observation hides. This reserve is at its best in winter, attracting huge flocks of Ganso-de-bico-curto, Piadeira and Marrequinha-comum, many Cisne-bravo, and occasional rarer birds such as Ganso-das-neves, Piadeira-americana and Green-winged Teal. It is also excellent for wintering birds of prey such as Tartaranhão-azulado, falcão-peregrino and Esmerilhão. Waders such as Maçarico-de-bico-direito, Combatente and Perna-vermelha-comum can be seen from hides as well as rarer smaller birds such as Tentilhão-montês in the woodlands.
