Descripción

This natural area covers the mouth of the Guadiaro river, the wetland (that is an old island) and the beach. Despite its small size, its characteristics, closer to the Mediterranean Sea than to the Atlantic Ocean, make it an area of high bird's richness, with almost 230 species recorded. The bird species are typical of places of brackish water with little influence of tide and reedbeds: ducks, herons, rails and crakes, waders, seabirds, gulls, terns and waterbird passerines.

Among these species you will find: residents Chorlitejo patinegro, Calamón Común, Martín Pescador Común or Cetia Ruiseñor; migrants Garcilla Cangrejera, Garza Imperial, Polluela Pintoja, Cigüeñuela común, Gaviota de Audouin, Charrancito Común, Golondrina Dáurica or Carricero Tordal; wintering Águila Pescadora, Rascón Europeo, Pájaro-moscón Europeo or Escribano Palustre. You have breeding, among other, like Avetorillo común and Carricero Común. Some possible rarities are Cerceta Pardilla, Agachadiza Chica or Polluela Chica. The beach is a good place for seabirds, both in winter and on migration, like Pardela cenicienta, Pardela Balear or Negrón común.
