Lake Sibolla is small nature reserve of 60 hectares and an important stop for migratory birds. It has one of the biggest heron colonies of Tuscany.
Lago di Sibolla is a small but important reserve for water birds. The area is largely made up of marshland, which is surrounded by both cultivated and uncultivated fields, while the southern part of the basin is wooded. Many species of birds can be observed, the best time to visit is the breeding season. Sibolla houses one of the most beautiful heronries of Tuscany where there are almost all the species of herons of Italy (Grey Heron, Great Egret, Black-crowned Night Heron, Little Egret and Cattle Egret). Other birds you can see here are Water Rail, Western Marsh Harrier, Glossy Ibis, Eurasian Spoonbill and Greater Flamingo.

Italiano: Si possono osservare molte specie di uccelli il momento più consono è quando nidificano. La Riserva, che si trova sulle linee di migrazione di quasi tutte le specie ornitiche di passaggio sul Mediterraneo, riveste anche un importante ruolo per l'avifauna acquatica, soprattutto quale habitat di sosta e di alimentazione. In particolare Sibolla ospita oggi una delle più belle garzaie della Toscana dove sono presenti quasi tutte le specie di aironi della fauna italiana (Airone cinerino, Airone bianco maggiore, Nitticora, Garzetta, Airone guardabuoi) e in gran parte vi si riproducono.
You can get there from two directions and you can park easily then continue on foot. Click on the P in the map to get directions.

Lake Sibolla is a place where I often go to take pictures, the birds are quite numerous but they can only be observed from a distance. So for taking pictures you need a camera with a good lens.
