The mouth of the Tordera River has become an unexpected natural paradise after the storm Gloria created a landscape perfect for birds.
The Delta del Tordera was changed by storm Gloria in January 2020. The formation of a large lagoon with marshes in its final stretch has created a surprising landscape full of life. The sediments dragged in by Gloria's storms have led to the appearance of an extensive sheet of water typical of a nature reserve. The result is a sudden geographical change and the emergence of a delta where birds of all kinds get food and rest. Sandbars formed off the coast dynamically delimit a salt and freshwater lagoon that has become an ideal habitat for species like Greater Flamingo and many other birds like Little Ringed Plover, Black-winged Stilt, Audouin's Gull, European Shag, Squacco Heron, Common Kingfisher, White Stork and Scopoli's Shearwater and different kinds of waders.

Espagnol: Lo que el Gloria nos dejó. Flamencos, pardelas, cormoranes, garcetas… La desembocadura del río Tordera se ha convertido en un paraíso natural inesperado. La formación de una gran laguna con marismas en su tramo final ha creado un paisaje sorprendente lleno de vida. Los sedimentos arrastrados en enero por los temporales de Gloria han propiciado la aparición de una extensa lámina de agua propia de una reserva natural. ¿Será solo un paraíso fugaz o es posible consolidar este enclave, acogido por la ciudadanía como un regalo de la naturaleza?
