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 Коловодник звичайний, Крем’яшник звичайний, Кулик-сорока and Кульон великий. Winter wildfowl and seabirds include Широконіска північна, Чирянка мала, Лебідь-кликун, Гуменник короткодзьобий, Казарка білощока, Гоголь зеленоголовий, Пухівка зеленошия, and divers, grebes, and auks. Also look out for Мала біла чапля, Рибалочка блакитний, Жайворонок польовий, Трав'янка чорноголова and Щеврик лучний. Otters are possible, plus seals, porpoise and dolphin offshore. At Grune Point the receding sea leaves tidal lagoons ideal for rockpooling.
