Beschreibung
What is left of the marshes of the Bouregreg, is a small patch that spans from the fortress of Chellah to the bridge Al-Fida. A few canals cut the marshes, which don't usually get flooded by the river. The ponds have small flocks of wintering ducks, and during the summer breeding Stockente , Stelzenläufer and Flußregenpfeifer. Marmelente has bred here in recent years. Near Chellah, the vegetation that is used to fence the small farms, a large Kuhreiher colony gathers during Spring. This colony also has important numbers of breeding Sichler and Nachtreiher , as well as a few Seidenreiher . In the bushes and Mastic trees there are Kanarenmeise , Graubülbül , Buchfink and Isabellspötter . Baumfalke (during Summer), Sperber, Rohrweihe and Turmfalke are regularly seen here, with the occasional visit of Adlerbussard ssp cirtensis . Species such as Habichtsadler , Tüpfelsumpfhuhn and Waldpieper have also been seen here.

The area is known among the locals to be a place where muggings can happen, so be vigilant while visiting the area. Ideally do not go there alone. At times there have been feral dogs in the area, so be prepared for that.
There are plans to develop this stretch of the Bouregreg shore, threatening this site.
