Lagunas de Lebrija

Seville Province, Spain  >  Spain

This little known collection of small launas may not be as productive as the nearby Lagunas de Espera but has many of the same birds and is easier to reach.

Description

Of the three lagunas in this small complex that are viewable from the track or nearby road, one is often completely dry, another is choked with reeds and the third difficult to view. However, they are relatively easy and quick to access and, on a good day, hold most of the species associated with the better known Lagunas de Espera nearby (inc Foulque caronculée .

Arriving from the north on the SE 6201 the first laguna you reach is the Laguna del Pilon (c1.5 km from the turning off the SE 5207). This is the shallowest laguna and is usually bone dry in the summer months and sometimes so in winter when rainfall is low. Check for Érismature à tête blanche when flooded and for Petit Gravelot and Échasse blanche around the margins. It can attract good numbers of hirundines & swifts. Élanion blanc occur in the area.

Another 1.5 km along the road turn right along a reasonable track (going left here takes you to the Lagunas de Espera). After c1km you reach the first laguna (on your right) - Laguna de la Galiana - which is usually so choked with reeds that little can be seen. A few hundred metres further on you reach the larger Laguna de la Cigarrera on the left. Although difficult to view this can hold Érismature à tête blanche , Nette rousse , Talève sultane and, occasionally, Foulque caronculée. The irritatingly thick screen of tamarisk that limits the view does, however, hold Hypolaïs obscure (generally absent or scarce at the lagunas de Espera nearby) and can have large numbers of roosting Moineau espagnol
