Parque de los Lagos

Cádiz  >  Spain

A little known but nice park. Specially great for photographing, as birds are very approachable, including very close, even if occasional Malvasía Cabeciblanca.

Descripción

Parque de los Lagos consists of 2 lakes and a channel that connects them. The surrounding vegetation consists of small fields and some sparse exotic bushes and trees. The closeby beach can be good for seawatching (Terns, Págalo Grande, Alcatraz Atlántico) and it holds the common beach birds. There aren't many people, even in August. The top lake holds a small island, which has Garza Real and Garceta Común, Martín Pescador Común and some of the usual waders. Both lakes have lots of Focha Común, Zampullín Común and Gallineta Común, as well as hundreds of Ánade azulón (both wild and domestic). Also domestic Ánsar común and domestic Muscovy Ducks. Small numbers of Cuchara Común, Ánade friso and Porrón Europeo are present during winter. Also during winter, some rarer species might show up, like Malvasía Cabeciblanca (mainly during dry years when wetlands are dry, up to 5), Ánade rabudo norteño, Porrón Moñudo, Porrón Pardo or Pato Colorado. However, they aren't regular. Duck hybrids aren't uncommon. The freshwater attracts loads of gulls (most notably Gaviota de Audouin), and may have some uncommon visitors on winter ( Gaviota Cana, Gavión Atlántico). The channel might ocasionally have Focha Moruna, but again this is mainly during dry years and still uncommon. Look for vagrants (Notable records are 1 Porrón Bola in 2021 and 1 Grulla Damisela in 2015.) Passerine variety is low, but the place has a few wintering Golondrina Común. Some other birds might show up from the nearby agricultural fields, like Perdiz Roja or Águila calzada.

Accesso

You can access the park from anywhere inside Costa Ballena. To get to the urbanisation, simply follow Chipiona signs, incorporate into the A-491 and enter the urbanisation from there. Once you arrived, park on one of the many streets, and enter the park from there. Wheelchair users can follow the main path, as it is easy to travel.
