Descrição
This small but very special nature reserve offers birders the chance to see a wealth of reedbed specialists, as well as a brilliant variety of invertebrates including Swallowtail Butterfly and Norfolk Hawker Dragonfly.
In the winter, look out for coruja-da-igreja / coruja-das-torres quartering the reedbed on cold, still evenings. The woodland holds Chapim-palustre, Dom-fafe and other common garden birds. You will likely see Tartaranhão-ruivo-dos-pauis around the reserve too. In the spring, listen out for the iconic sounds of Cuco-canoro as well as a whole host of warblers including Rouxinol-bravo, Felosa-dos-juncos, rouxinol-dos-caniços, Felosa-malhada and Felosa-musical.
In summer and autumn, you may encounter roaming flocks of Chapim-de-bigode in the reeds, while Ógea will be hawking for dragonflies overhead. This is a very peaceful reserve, especially in early mornings and evenings, so is a fantastic place to get your dose of nature therapy.
