Descripción
The Bolle of Magadino, between the mouth of the Verzasca and the Magadino plain, are a precious wildlife refuge. It is the only mouth of a river in a lake which has remained in its natural state south of the Alps (and one of the few in Europe); they are rich in aquatic and terrestrial biotopes in various phases of evolution. More than 300 species of birds have been seen here. Among the birds you can see here are Ganso del Nilo, Cuchara Común, Silbón Europeo, Porrón Moñudo, Serreta Grande, Zampullín Común, Somormujo Lavanco, Tórtola Turca, Cormorán Grande, Avetoro Común, Garza Real, Garceta Grande, Garcilla Bueyera, Águila Pescadora, Abejero Europeo, Aguilucho Lagunero Occidental, Aguilucho pálido, Gavilán Común, Milano Negro, Busardo ratonero, Mochuelo Europeo, Martín Pescador Común, Pico Picapinos, Picamaderos Negro, Cernícalo vulgar, Oropéndola Europea, Arrendajo Euroasiático, Corneja Cenicienta, Carbonero Garrapinos, Herrerillo Común, Carbonero Común, Pájaro-moscón Europeo, Carricero Común, Avión Zapador, Golondrina Común, Mito Común, Trepador Azul, Agateador Europeo, Petirrojo Europeo, Ruiseñor Común, Lavandera Blanca, Pinzón Vulgar, Verderón Común and Escribano Palustre.
