Descrição
The RSPB Loch Gruinart Reserve has two hides and a visitor centre. In the spring the fields come alive with breeding wader displays including Abibe-comum, Perna-vermelha-comum and drumming Narceja-comum. Codornizão calls can be heard from mid-May and Tartaranhão-azulado can be seen displaying on the moorland. In Autumn, Ganso-de-faces-brancas and Ganso-grande-de-testa-branca arrive in numbers around 30,000 from Greenland, this arrival attracts many Águia-rabalva to the Loch. Waders such as Pilrito-sanderlingo, Pilrito-comum, Borrelho-grande-de-coleira, Tarambola-dourada and Fuselo can be seen through the autumn and winter using the loch. Wintering wildfowl such as Piadeira, Arrabio, Marrequinha-comum and Cisne-bravo spend the winter in front of the hides.
