Espagnol: As augas detidas do río Xallas conforman un grande encoro no que aves acuáticas de diferentes especies atoparon un lugar para vivir, especialmente en inverno, cando acolle aves procedentes de latitudes máis setentrionais. A súa profundidade, especialmente na cola, non é moita, polo que é un bo lugar para observar especies que ou se alimentan no fondo ou capturan peixes mentres mergullan. A contorna do encoro, tipicamente de agras, acolle tamén un variado elenco de aves.
