Descrizione
Parque de los Lagos consists of 2 lakes and a channel that connects them. The surrounding vegetation consists of small fields and some sparse exotic bushes and trees. The closeby beach can be good for seawatching (Terns, Stercorario maggiore, Sula) and it holds the common beach birds. There aren't many people, even in August. The top lake holds a small island, which has Airone cenerino and Garzetta, Martin pescatore and some of the usual waders. Both lakes have lots of Folaga, Tuffetto and Gallinella d'acqua, as well as hundreds of Germano reale (both wild and domestic). Also domestic Oca selvatica and domestic Muscovy Ducks. Small numbers of Mestolone, Canapiglia and Moriglione are present during winter. Also during winter, some rarer species might show up, like Gobbo rugginoso (mainly during dry years when wetlands are dry, up to 5), Codone, Moretta, Moretta tabaccata or Fistione turco. However, they aren't regular. Duck hybrids aren't uncommon. The freshwater attracts loads of gulls (most notably Gabbiano corso), and may have some uncommon visitors on winter ( Gavina, Mugnaiaccio). The channel might ocasionally have Folaga crestata, but again this is mainly during dry years and still uncommon. Look for vagrants (Notable records are 1 Moretta grigia minore in 2021 and 1 Damigella della Numidia in 2015.) Passerine variety is low, but the place has a few wintering Rondine. Some other birds might show up from the nearby agricultural fields, like Pernice rossa or Aquila minore.

Accesso
You can access the park from anywhere inside Costa Ballena. To get to the urbanisation, simply follow Chipiona signs, incorporate into the A-491 and enter the urbanisation from there. Once you arrived, park on one of the many streets, and enter the park from there. Wheelchair users can follow the main path, as it is easy to travel.
