A good place to see (or hear) pensaslepinkäinen, sepelleppälintu, etelänsatakieli, mustapäätasku, heinäkerttu, turturikyyhky, mehiläissyöjä and viiriäinen in the fields. Along the river you can see kuningaskalastaja, keltavästäräkki, silkkihaikara, ruostesorsa, marmorisorsa, pikku-uikku, pikkutörmäpääsky and if you are lucky the bird for which this whole area of Souss Massa National Park is protected: the töyhtöiibis.
