Beskrivning
The new reedbeds, saline lagoons and wet grasslands have already attracted a wealth of wetland birds including internationally important number of overwintering Skedand and stjärtand with numbers of bläsand and Kricka rapidly approaching the same level of importance. Other wintering wildfowl include snatterand, brunand and knipa, with the occasional bergand.
rördrom may be seen at the Uskmouth Reedbeds in winter along with blå kärrhök and jorduggla. Up to 50,000 stare use the reedbeds to roost in winter.
The scrub around the reedbeds has cettisångare which are resident all year, a recent survey revealed around 70 singing males! Also rörsångare and sävsångare in summer along with a few gräshoppsångare in the reedbeds through the summer. A good number of ärtsångare are found around the hedgerows during the summer and are joined passage rödstjärt, svart rödstjärt, buskskvätta and flycatchers during the spring an autumn.
