Description
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 Лебідь-шипун, Пірникоза мала, Лиска звичайна and Чернь чубата, while reedbeds provide a home for Очеретянка лучна and Вівсянка очеретяна in spring and summer. Пірникоза велика can often be seen performing their courtship displays.
Woodlands around the park are alive with Дятел звичайний, Підкоришник звичайний, and Ополовник звичайний, або синиця довгохвоста. In winter, flocks of Дрізд білобровий and Чикотень arrive, while the occasional Канюк звичайний or Яструб малий can be spotted overhead.
With scenic trails and a variety of bird species, Drumpellier is a perfect spot for both beginners and experienced birdwatchers.
