Description

The Mouth of the Oued Tamri near the village of Tamri is a wetland that attracts countless birds. On the beach you can find different species of terns and gulls resting. With often Audouin's Gull. In the bushes many small songbirds can be spotted, especially many Sardinian Warbler. Most interesting are the two lagoons. Waders like Whimbrel, Common Ringed Plover, Kentish Plover, Common Greenshank, Common Redshank and other birds can be found here. Often Northern Bald Ibis can be seen flying over. Also a good chance on Black-eared Wheatear, Woodchat Shrike and Great Grey Shrike.
