Description
The Solway Firth is an extensive and remote area of saltmarsh, mudflats, sandy coast, dunes and reedbeds attracting a wide range of wetland birds. Breeding and passage waders include kalužiak červenonohý, kamenár strakatý, lastúrničiar strakatý and hvizdák veľký. Winter wildfowl and seabirds include kačica lyžičiarka, kačica chrapka, labuť spevavá, hus krátkozobá, bernikľa bielolíca, hlaholka severská, kajka morská, and divers, grebes, and auks. Also look out for beluša malá, rybárik riečny, škovránok poľný, pŕhľaviar čiernohlavý and ľabtuška lúčna. Otters are possible, plus seals, porpoise and dolphin offshore. At Grune Point the receding sea leaves tidal lagoons ideal for rockpooling.
