Description
Despite its small size La Marjal dels Moros is home to some large bird populations of several species, including seriously endangered species. One of the highlights in springtime are the flocks of different types of wading birds that come here to breed, including colonies of Ποταμογλάρονο, (Ευρωπαϊκό) Νανογλάρονο, (Κοινό) Νεροχελίδονο, Μουστακογλάρονο and Καλαμοκανάς. There is also a large breeding population of (Ευρασιατικό) Φερεντίνι, which is increasingly rare in Valencia. The Στικτόπαπια is another endangered species that breeds here, and the Marjal marks its northernmost location in Europe. In wintertime you can see large flocks of (Κοινός) Λευκοτσικνιάς and (Ευρασιατική) Χουλιαρόπαπια, as well as spectacular gatherings of (Ευρωπαϊκός) Κορμοράνος, and it is not uncommon to see (Ευρωπαϊκό) Φοινικόπτερο, Αργυροτσικνιάς or (Ευρασιατική) Χαλκόκοτα. Other nice birds you can see include Καλαμόκιρκος, (Κοκκινόλαιμο) Νανοβουτηχτάρι, Αρκοπετείναρο, Σουλτανοπουλάδα and (Ευρωπαϊκή) Αλκυόνη.
