Descripción
The Aiguabarreig de Mequinenza offers a striking landscape, where the large wetlands formed by the confluence of major rivers meet the surrounding arid terrain. This unique environment makes it a strategic point for many birds, serving as a wintering, breeding, or migratory stopover site. The sediment accumulation at the tail of the Ribarroja reservoir has created various islands between the confluences of the Segre and Cinca rivers, extending to the Ebro in Mequinenza.
One notable island is l’Illa dels Martinets, an important breeding colony for many heron species, including Garcilla Bueyera, Garceta Común, Avetorillo común, Martinete Común, Garceta Grande, Garza Real and Garza Imperial. Recently, the Garcilla Cangrejera has also joined, and a few well-camouflaged Avetoro Común winter here among the reeds.
The extensive and well-preserved riparian forests and reed beds host a diverse and interesting bird population year-round. Species such as rails, woodpeckers, thrushes, tits, finches, and buntings can be seen and heard, adding to the birdwatching experience amidst lush vegetation.
In the steppe environment, you can find emblematic species like Sisón Común, Ganga Ortega, Ganga Ibérica, Carraca Europea and both Terrera Común and Terrera marismeña. Transitional areas between habitats feature species like Curruca Mirlona, Curruca Tomillera, Roquero Solitario and both Collalba Negra and Collalba Gris.
Finally, the Ebro Valley cliffs host a rich variety of cliff-dwelling species, particularly raptors, such as Buitre Leonado, Alimoche Común, Águila Real, Águila perdicera, Águila calzada, Culebrera Europea, Busardo ratonero, Aguilucho Lagunero Occidental, Milano Negro, Milano Real, Halcón Peregrino and Búho Real.
