Description

Las Tablas de Daimiel National Park are a special wetland in Europe because of the ecosystem called river tables. A complex ecosystem that mixes the characteristics of a floodplain, produced by the overflows of the Guadiana and Gigella rivers at their confluence. These overflows, favored by the scarcity of slope in the terrain, are paired with the development of a powerful and characteristic plant cover that constitutes an exceptional habitat for birds linked to an aquatic environment. You can spend a pleasant day walking along any of the marked routes. Among the birds you can see here are Kárókatona, Daru, Vízityúk, Nyári lúd, Gólyatöcs, Sordély, Szalakóta, Foltos nádiposzáta, Barna rétihéja, Barkóscinege, Fehér gólya, pettyes kakukk and Függőcinege. And many more, see the birdlist below.
