Beschreibung
Els Muntanyans of Torredembarra and Creixell is a natural wetland situated between the sea and the railway. This natural site holds several small ponds, saltmarshes with glasswort and small dunes where interesting reptiles can be found like spiny-footed lizard (Acanthodactylus erythrurus). In the wetlands several bird species can be seen during all the year like Stockente, Zwergtaucher, Teichhuhn, Mittelmeermöwe, and other birds like Samtkopf-Grasmücke, Schwarzkehlchen or Zistensänger.
The site is remarkable because the Seeregenpfeifer breeds in this wetland and Purpurhuhn has also bred. But is during migrations when the site is more interesting as several shorebird species can be found, like Sandregenpfeifer, Sanderling or Rotschenkel , and several small passerines occur in the reeds, the marshy areas and the dunes; is the case of Steinschmätzer, Braunkehlchen, Teichrohrsänger, Mönchsgrasmücke and several swallows. Korallenmöwe is present most of the year except in winter months.
