Description
In Area naturalistica del Tavello the river bed forms a complex system on meanders, giving birth to a little biodiversity hotspot. .
You can see all year long water birds like merimetso , pikkumerimetso , sinisorsa , kyhmyjoutsen , Liejukana and herons (almost every italian species during migrations), and, especially during migratory season, other species of ducks, like Lapasorsa , tavi , heinätavi , ruskosotka , grebes, rails like nokikana , Luhtakana , gulls: etelänharmaalokki , naurulokki , mustanmerenlokki and waders, for example: metsäviklo , liro , rantasipi , valkoviklo , suokukko , pikkutylli , taivaanvuohi .The best period to see waders and sometimes kalatiira and hietatiira is probably around july, when they are migrating and the level of the river is pretty low and the meander bars create some little shores.
In the little lowland forest, often partially or mostly flooded almost in a "mangroves style", and in the many bushes around, you can see always see and hear käpytikka , vihertikka and sometimes even palokärki , water birds ,varpushaukka , sepelkyyhky and many passerines. For example during migration: kirjosieppo , pajulintu , sirittäjä , etelänsatakieli , lehtokerttu , pensaskerttu , harmaasieppo , laulurastas and many more. The rid bed is almost non-existent, apart from some little spots, but you can see luhtakerttunen , and I once I even found a kaulushaikara resting there!
In the summer are present käki , turturikyyhky , Kuhankeittäjä , and raptors like Mehiläishaukka and nuolihaukka .
It's good to check the cultivated fields that surround the area, you can also cross them in certain points (beware to not step on the crops). Here come to feed gulls, herons, töyhtöhyyppä and passerines like crows, västäräkki , keltavästäräkki , vuorikirvinen . Some of the fields are also crossed by a series of country edges, where you can see isolepinkäinen (winter), pikkulepinkäinen , taiturikultarinta (mid/late spring and late summer).
You can also see amphibians, like Rana letestei, Hyla intermedia, Pelophylax esculentus, and reptiles: Trachemys scripta, Natrix natrix, Hierophis viridiflavus, Lacerta bilineata, Podarcis muralis.
There are mammals like hares, roe deers...

Access
You can explore the zone walking or by mountain bike, the area of biggest interest is about 20 minutes from the parking by foot. Once there you can watch the oxbows of the river, the trees and the fields from the different trail, with the main one elevated from the rest of the plain. Beware that some of the little patches near the river may be flooded if it's a rainy period. I don't think it's possible to axcess by wheel chair, exept from the area near the parking (Parco di Punta Speron) where sometimes you still can do some pretty cool observation sometimes. For example here it's possible to see rantasipi , wagtails, swallows, in winter even koskikara .
You can also go and visit the Villa Pacchierotti De Benedetti, keeping an eye on the tree lines and the small pond near the road.
Italiano: Puoi esplorare la zona a piedi o in bicicletta. Dall'argine si ha una buona visuale sulla zona, vari sentierini lungo il fiume e tra i campi. Fare clic sulla P nella mappa per ottenere le indicazioni stradali.
