Descripción
The Salmenwiesen meadows are easily accessible and offer a good mix of birds all year round, especially at times when there is water on the meadows and in the ditches. When the meadows are flooded, a good number of birds use the meadows as a place to feed and rest. Ánsar común, Barnacla canadiense grande, Garza Real, Gallineta Común, Ánade azulón and Corneja Negra are nearly always present. At times they are joined by Cigüeña Blanca, Tarro Canelo and Cerceta Común.
During spring migration it is possible to see pairs or small groups of Tarabilla común and Lavandera Boyera. If you are lucky, you may see Agachadiza común , Buscarla Pintoja or even a rarity such as a Garcilla Bueyera! During spring and summer there is a good chance of observing Curruca Zarcera, Alcaudón Dorsirrojo and Golondrina Común. Birds of prey can also frequently be observed soaring over the meadows.
In winter, Bisbita Pratense and Lavandera Blanca are usually present and can be heard and seen foraging on the meadows and in the reeds.
