A good place to see (or hear) Krattornskade, Diademrødstjert, Sydlig Nattergal, Vestlig Sortstrubet Bynkefugl, Cistussanger, Turteldue, Biæder and Vagtel in the fields. Along the river you can see Isfugl, Gul Vipstjert, Silkehejre, Rustand, Marmorand, Lille Lappedykker, Brunstrubet Digesvale and if you are lucky the bird for which this whole area of Souss Massa National Park is protected: the Eremitibis.
