Descrição
Minsmere has been managed by the RSPB since 1947. Its long history as a nature reserve, wide variety of habitats and excellent visitor facilites, make this the UK's best nature reserve (as voted by readers of Birdwatch magazine in 2019).
More than 5800 different species of wildlife have been recorded at Minsmere, including about 350 species of birds. Of these, more than 200 species of birds are recorded every year, and it is possibly to see 100 species on most days.
Minsmere's reedbed is the third largest freshwater reedbed in England and is home to important poputions of Abetouro-comum, Chapim-de-bigode, Tartaranhão-ruivo-dos-pauis, Frango-d'água, Rouxinol-bravo, rouxinol-dos-caniços and Felosa-dos-juncos, as well as otters, water voles and rare dragonflies and moths. In most years, at least one singing Felosa-unicolor is present.
Scarce herons are regular in the reedbed, including Colhereiro, Garça-branca-grande, Garca-vaqueira, Garça-roxa and Íbis-preta. The UK's first ever Caimão was a popular visitor in 2016.
The famous Minsmere Scrape was the first such habitat in the world. This is a series of shallow lagoons, studded with islands, that was created in the 1960s to attract nesting terns and Alfaiate and migrant waders.
In spring, this is a superb area to look for breeding birds, including up to 3000 pairs of Guincho-comum. These, in turn, attract nesting Gaivota-de-cabeça-preta, Andorinha-do-mar-comum, Garajau-comum and Andorinha-do-mar-anã. Alfaiate first recolonised the UK at Minsmere in 1947, and up to 100 pairs nest every year.
Spring and autumn migration can attract up to 25 species of waders per day, including good numbers of Maçarico-de-bico-direito, Perna-vermelha-escuro, Perna-verde-comum, Pássaro-bique-bique, Maçarico-das-rochas and Combatente. Pilrito-pequeno, Pilrito-de-bico-comprido, Maçarico-bastardo and Pilrito-peitoral are regular, while in recent years, rarities have included Perna-verde-fino, Macarico de rabadilha branca, Pilrito de Baird, Pernilongo, Falaropo-de-bico-fino and Falaropo-de-bico-grosso.
Other passage and migrant seabirds that are regularly enountered onthe Scrape include Andorinha-do-mar-árctica, Andorinha-do-mar-rósea, Gaivota-pequena, Gaivota-de-patas-amarelas and Gaivota-de-patas-amarelas.
The beach and dunes are home to a wide variety of scarce plants, as well as nesting Cartaxo-comum and Felosa-do-mato. Offshore, large numbers of Mobêlha-pequena, Mergulhão-de-crista and Pato-preto may be present in winter, as well as smaller numbers of other seaducks. Moleiro-pomarino and Moleiro-grande are also regular offshore in autumn.
The deciduous woodland and scrub is important for breeding Rouxinol-comum and warblers, including Felosa-das-figueiras, Toutinegra-de-barrette-preto, Papa-amoras-comum, papa-amoras-cinzento and Felosa-musical, as well as Rabirruivo-de-testa-branca, Cuco-canoro and Rola-comum. Many of these species are rapidly declining in the UK and across Europe.
Rarities, such as Papa-figos, Torcicolo, Picanço-de-dorso-ruivo and Felosa-assobiadeira, are annual visitors.
A large Andorinha-das-barreiras colony breeds next to the visitor centre and regularly attracts hunting Ógea.
The adjacent heath is one of the easiest places in the UK to see a number of scarce habitat-specialist insects, flowers and birds. The latter include Alcaravão, Noitibó da Europa, Cotovia-pequena, Felosa-do-mato and Cartaxo-comum.
The RSPB provides easy access paths, several birdwatching hides and a large visitor centre, with cafe, shop and toilets, and volunteer guides are usually present to help visitors to enjoy their visit.
