Parque de los Lagos

Cádiz  >  Spain

A little known but nice park. Specially great for photographing, as birds are very approachable, including very close, even if occasional Weißkopf-Ruderente.

Beschreibung

Parque de los Lagos consists of 2 lakes and a channel that connects them. The surrounding vegetation consists of small fields and some sparse exotic bushes and trees. The closeby beach can be good for seawatching (Terns, Skua, Basstölpel) and it holds the common beach birds. There aren't many people, even in August. The top lake holds a small island, which has Graureiher and Seidenreiher, Eisvogel and some of the usual waders. Both lakes have lots of Bläßhuhn, Zwergtaucher and Teichhuhn, as well as hundreds of Stockente (both wild and domestic). Also domestic Graugans and domestic Muscovy Ducks. Small numbers of Löffelente, Schnatterente and Tafelente are present during winter. Also during winter, some rarer species might show up, like Weißkopf-Ruderente (mainly during dry years when wetlands are dry, up to 5), Spießente, Reiherente, Moorente or Kolbenente. However, they aren't regular. Duck hybrids aren't uncommon. The freshwater attracts loads of gulls (most notably Korallenmöwe), and may have some uncommon visitors on winter ( Sturmmöwe, Mantelmöwe). The channel might ocasionally have Kammbläßhuhn, but again this is mainly during dry years and still uncommon. Look for vagrants (Notable records are 1 Kanadabergente in 2021 and 1 Jungfernkranich in 2015.) Passerine variety is low, but the place has a few wintering Rauchschwalbe. Some other birds might show up from the nearby agricultural fields, like Rothuhn or Zwergadler.

You can access the park from anywhere inside Costa Ballena. To get to the urbanisation, simply follow Chipiona signs, incorporate into the A-491 and enter the urbanisation from there. Once you arrived, park on one of the many streets, and enter the park from there. Wheelchair users can follow the main path, as it is easy to travel.

Zusätzliche Informationen

The urbanisation and park might be crowded during summer, but they're almost empty in winter. Though spring and auttumn may give you some cool species, but those seasons are better spent elsewhere.
