Description

La Laguna de la Nava is a great wetland for birding and a very important area for birds. It holds large flocks of Oie cendrée, wintering waterfowl, steppe birds like Outarde barbue, waders and ducks. Spring is the time of passage of migratory birds, such as Spatule blanche, Chevalier gambette and other waders and plovers. The breeding season has species such as Héron pourpré, Busard des roseaux and Échasse blanche among others. In summer despite of its water scarcity, the lagoon shelters several thousand Canard colvert or hundreds of Cigogne blanche. In the autumn Grue cendrée and a wide variety of waders and other passage migrants can be seen.

Note: we got a comment (see below) that the area is totally dry (October 2024). If somebody has an update of the current situation, would be great if you could write a comment below.
