Birdlife

Among the birdlife which can be seen at Cors Caron are Buzzard, Peregrine Falcon, Merlin, Eurasian Sparrowhawk and Hen Harrier. There have also been rare sightings of Montagu's Harrier. The reserve provides a habitat for the endangered Red Kite. Once nearly extinct, the bird of prey has made a dramatic resurgence in the area. The wetlands attract a variety of wild fowl such as the Teal, Curlew, and Water Rail. Snipe, Red Grouse, Tree Pipit, Grasshopper Warbler and Whinchat can be seen more in the drier areas and the Common Redstart and Willow Warbler nest in the willow scrub.
