Descripción

Sultan Marshes is an extensive wetland complex on the Develi plain. The site includes a saline lake, salt steppe, nutrient-rich freshwater marshes, wet meadows, small islands, and lakes. Situated in a closed basin and surrounded by hills and mountains, the area is an important breeding and wintering site for various species of endangered or globally threatened waterbirds. It is a Ramsar Site where Cerceta Común have been counted/estimated more than 500.000 during the mid winter water bird counts in the past. Although Sultan Marshes suffered from many habitat degradation processes the area still is an impressive wetland system. Some of the birds you can expect are Flamenco Común, Porrón Pardo, Malvasía Cabeciblanca, Pato Colorado, Zampullín Cuellinegro, Rascón Europeo, Calamón Cabecigrís , Cigüeñuela común and Críalo Europeo. But many more, see the list below.
