Description
The Trent Port area is flat and overlooks a number of fields and the River Trent. The River Trent is a good location for kalužiačik malý during passage, beluša malá and rybárik riečny. The surrounding fields and hedgerows have good numbers of kuropta červená, strnádka trstinová and strnádka obyčajná. 150 species have been recorded here including local scarcities such as kolibiarik sykavý, glezg obyčajný, čajka bielohlavá and muchárik čiernohlavý whilst močiarnička tichá and potápač veľký are annual visitors. In winter the River Trent is prone to flooding the fields, which provide some additional ornithological interest. Species recorded during floods includes kačica lyžičiarka, kačica ostrochvostá, chochlačka sivá and chochlačka vrkočatá.
