Description

What is left of the marshes of the Bouregreg, is a small patch that spans from the fortress of Chellah to the bridge Al-Fida. A few canals cut the marshes, which don't usually get flooded by the river. The ponds have small flocks of wintering ducks, and during the summer breeding Canard colvert , Échasse blanche and Petit Gravelot. Sarcelle marbrée has bred here in recent years. Near Chellah, the vegetation that is used to fence the small farms, a large Héron garde-boeufs colony gathers during Spring. This colony also has important numbers of breeding Ibis falcinelle and Bihoreau gris , as well as a few Aigrette garzette . In the bushes and Mastic trees there are Mésange nord-africaine , Bulbul des jardins , Pinson des arbres and Hypolaïs obscure . Faucon hobereau (during Summer), Épervier d'Europe, Busard des roseaux and Faucon crécerelle are regularly seen here, with the occasional visit of Buse féroce de l'Atlas . Species such as Aigle de Bonelli , Marouette ponctuée and Pipit à dos olive have also been seen here.

Informations supplémentaires

The area is known among the locals to be a place where muggings can happen, so be vigilant while visiting the area. Ideally do not go there alone. At times there have been feral dogs in the area, so be prepared for that.

There are plans to develop this stretch of the Bouregreg shore, threatening this site.
