Descrição
Portmore Lough is a lowland, wet-grassland reserve. The range of wetland habitats provide a home for a wide variety of wildlife. In spring, Abibe-comum can be seen displaying over the wet grassland, whilst Laverca sing from high overhead. Butterflies and dragonflies dart along the path to the hide. The Andorinha-do-mar-comum colony can be heard from the lough, as the terns busy themselves raising their young on the nesting rafts. Autumn brings lots of wildfowl, Galeirão-comum, Zarro-comum and Zarro-negrinha ducks gather in large rafts on the lough. Raptors, including Tartaranhão-ruivo-dos-pauis and Tartaranhão-azulado can often be seen hunting over the reedbed at this time of year. Cisne-bravo and Ganso-comum arrive from Iceland in October to overwinter at the reserve until April. In late winter, huge swirling flocks of Abibe-comum and Tarambola-dourada fly over the flooded meadows.
