Description
Etang de Palu is the fourth largest pond on the island of Corsica, spanning 110 hectares. The lagoon has largely retained its natural character. A sandbar of 2.5 km long separates the lagoon from the sea. The lagoon and its surrounding vegetation and sandy beaches is an important ecosystem. There are varied biotopes in a relatively small area, ranging from very dry to very humid, from freshwater to saltwater. More than 110 species of bird winter in the lagoon or use it as a resting place during migration including plameňák růžový, moták pochop, linduška úhorní, orlovec říční and pisila čáponohá.
