Description

Laguna de San Juan is a protected nature reserve of about 40 hectares. The lagoon is located on the left bank of the Tajuña River, which joins the Jarama River nearby. The shape of the lagoon is triangular and surrounded by reeds, hills and cliffs of considerable height. On the islands in the lagoon, in the trees around the lagoon, the birds can raise their young undisturbed. Many migrating birds make a stop here during migration. The bird observatory is a quiet place with good views of the lagoon. Among the birds you can observe are ruskosuohaukka, ruskohaikara, kirjosieppo, pussitiainen, Kuhankeittäjä, mustaleppälintu, mustapäätasku, pikku-uikku, käki, punasotka, sulttaanikana, kuningaskalastaja, muuttohaukka, keltahemppo, pikkutikka, harmaasieppo, silkkikerttunen, taiturikultarinta and huuhkaja.
