Steppe lagoon with permanent waters. One of the largest and most important steppe lagoons in the province of León.
Laguna Sentiz is one of the largest and most important steppe lagoons in the province of León. It is close to the town of Valdepolo, just over half an hour from the capital of León. It is a permanent water lagoon surrounded by marsh vegetation. In it you can find aquatic species, open water and linked to the reed like herons (Fiskehejre, Purpurhejre, Dværghejre), ducks such as Gråand, Skeand or Krikand and passerines such as Rørspurv, Sivsanger and Rørsanger.
The environment that surrounds it is made up of farmland and some spots of holm oak and Pyrenean oak. This increases the diversity of species. Some of them are Turteldue, Vagtel, Gærdeværling, Rødhovedet Tornskade, Hortulan, etc. The raptor community is well represented with species such as Rørhøg, Hedehøg, Mosehornugle and Blå Kærhøg among others. Here we can see species as interesting as they are scarce at the provincial level. Highlighting Blå Glente, Skestork or Blåhals. Even Sort Stork, Sort Ibis or Atlingand have been cited.
