Description
Molentargius, which was the richest Sardinian basin for sea-salt extraction for two and a half centuries - an activity that ceased in 1985 - has become one of the main resting and nesting sites of aquatic birds in Europe. The Molentargius-Saline extends across 1,600 hectares near the city of Cagliari. It consists of two main pools; Bellarosa Minore to the north east, a smaller freshwater pool and Bellarosa Maggiore to the south west, a much larger brackish pool. In between these 2 pools, there are numerous reed-filled freshwater pools and canals. Both to the south, and along the coast, to the south east, there are many other pools, including the Stagni di Quartu, used in the past to produce salt.
On the embankment of Bellarosa Maggiore Flamant rose and Goéland railleur nest. The reed of the Bellarosa Minore is a refuge for nesting birds as Héron garde-boeufs, Échasse blanche, Aigrette garzette and numerous species of ducks. With a little luck, you will see Talève sultane, with its metallic blue plumage and scarlet red beak.
Other interesting breeding birds are Crabier chevelu, Héron pourpré, Bihoreau gris, Sterne hansel, Sterne naine, Fuligule nyroca, Avocette élégante, Busard des roseaux and Gravelot à collier interrompu. Goéland d'Audouin can be seen at quieter times of the year around the Stagni di Quartu and along the beach.
The pools are also very good for migrant species, including Ibis falcinelle, Spatule blanche, Sarcelle d'été, Chevalier arlequin and plenty of other waders. Wintering species include Nette rousse and Spatule blanche.
