Beskrivning

Drumpellier Country Park offers a diverse mix of habitats, including woodlands, wetlands, open water, and grasslands, making it a fantastic birdwatching spot year-round. The park’s lochs and marshes attract knölsvan, Smådopping, sothöna and vigg, while reedbeds provide a home for sävsångare and Sävsparv in spring and summer. skäggdopping can often be seen performing their courtship displays.

Woodlands around the park are alive with större hackspett, trädkrypare, and stjärtmes. In winter, flocks of rödvingetrast and björktrast arrive, while the occasional ormvråk or sparvhök can be spotted overhead.

With scenic trails and a variety of bird species, Drumpellier is a perfect spot for both beginners and experienced birdwatchers.
