Description
Riserva Naturale Macchiatonda is a site of national relevance for wintering kulík zlatý. It's a very good site to watch birds during spring and autumn migration (waders, ducks, herons). It's a nesting site of kalandra zpěvná and other larks. It's the best place in northern Latium to see racek Audouinův and other seabirds. It's quite common to see raptors hunting here from Tolfa hills, e.g. luňák červený, luňák hnědý and orlík krátkoprstý. Note that the area is not always accessible and only from September to May, see the details below.
