Descripción

The Annagh Marsh complex extends over 30 hectares at the southernmost part of the Special Protection Area (SPA) of Termoncarragh Lake and Annagh Machair. It is internationally important for large winter gatherings of geese, ducks and swans. During the winter months, the morning and evening skies come alive with the sounds of Barnacla Cariblanca as they fly back and forth from the offshore islands and Termoncarragh. Also Cisne Cantor and Chova Piquirroja feed on the grasslands. Annagh Marsh is the southernmost breeding site in the world for Falaropo Picofino, but extremely rare. Other breeding birds are Avefría Europea, Agachadiza común, Alondra Común, Carricerín Común and Escribano Palustre. With luck, you might also see or hear Correlimos Común, Buscarla Pintoja or Guión de Codornices.
