Description
Estany de Vilaüt or the Lake of Vilaüt is one of the places belonging to the Natural Park of Aiguamolls de l'Empordà that is more unknown. The deepest part of the lake is flooded more or less permanently, being a haven of tranquility for many bird species according to the seasons. The tranquillity of this wetland has made it an oasis for birds that inhabit reedbeds, rushes and grasslands. Right next to the water you find an observatory. Among the birds you can see here are Garganey, Wood Sandpiper, Eurasian Hoopoe, European Roller, Black-winged Stilt, Glossy Ibis, Short-toed Snake Eagle, Crested Lark and European Bee-eater.
