Description
The marsh itself is usually a good place for herons like the Mala Bijela Čaplja or Čapljica Voljak. Furthermore during breeding season you should pay attention to Eja Močvarica, Crnoprugasti Trstenjak, Svilorepa, Šivalica and other typical aquatic or reed-specialised species. Depending on the water level dabbling ducks ( Kržulja, Patka Žličarka and others) or eventually waders can be found resting in the reserve.
The beach confining to the reserve, and especially around the eponymous relict of the "Torre Flavia" is a good spot for seawatching. Pay attention to Kaukal, Južni galeb and Bluna. Waders might also be found there, like Morski Kulik in the winter.
Finally, don't overlook the pastures, where Kukmasta Ševa, Wagtails and Pipits can be expected.

Access
A car park is situated roughly at the corner of "Via Roma" (coming from Ladispoli centre) and "Via Fontana Morella" (coming from Marina di Cerveteri). Both towns are easily reached from the A 12 motorway (Rome-Civitavecchia). For approaching the area by public transport, one could consider arriving by train to Ladispoli and take then a bicycle or simply walking to the site (roughly 35 minutes).
