Parque de los Lagos

Cádiz  >  Spain

A little known but nice park. Specially great for photographing, as birds are very approachable, including very close, even if occasional Érismature à tête blanche.

Description

Parque de los Lagos consists of 2 lakes and a channel that connects them. The surrounding vegetation consists of small fields and some sparse exotic bushes and trees. The closeby beach can be good for seawatching (Terns, Grand Labbe, Fou de Bassan) and it holds the common beach birds. There aren't many people, even in August. The top lake holds a small island, which has Héron cendré and Aigrette garzette, Martin-pêcheur d'Europe and some of the usual waders. Both lakes have lots of Foulque macroule, Grèbe castagneux and Gallinule poule-d'eau, as well as hundreds of Canard colvert (both wild and domestic). Also domestic Oie cendrée and domestic Muscovy Ducks. Small numbers of Canard souchet, Canard chipeau and Fuligule milouin are present during winter. Also during winter, some rarer species might show up, like Érismature à tête blanche (mainly during dry years when wetlands are dry, up to 5), Canard pilet, Fuligule morillon, Fuligule nyroca or Nette rousse. However, they aren't regular. Duck hybrids aren't uncommon. The freshwater attracts loads of gulls (most notably Goéland d'Audouin), and may have some uncommon visitors on winter ( Goéland cendré, Goéland marin). The channel might ocasionally have Foulque caronculée, but again this is mainly during dry years and still uncommon. Look for vagrants (Notable records are 1 Fuligule à tête noire in 2021 and 1 Grue demoiselle in 2015.) Passerine variety is low, but the place has a few wintering Hirondelle rustique. Some other birds might show up from the nearby agricultural fields, like Perdrix rouge or Aigle botté.

Accès

You can access the park from anywhere inside Costa Ballena. To get to the urbanisation, simply follow Chipiona signs, incorporate into the A-491 and enter the urbanisation from there. Once you arrived, park on one of the many streets, and enter the park from there. Wheelchair users can follow the main path, as it is easy to travel.
