Steppe lagoon with permanent waters. One of the largest and most important steppe lagoons in the province of León.
Laguna Sentiz is one of the largest and most important steppe lagoons in the province of León. It is close to the town of Valdepolo, just over half an hour from the capital of León. It is a permanent water lagoon surrounded by marsh vegetation. In it you can find aquatic species, open water and linked to the reed like herons (Siva Čaplja, Čaplja Danguba, Čapljica Voljak), ducks such as Divlja Patka, Patka Žličarka or Kržulja and passerines such as Močvarna Strnadica, Trstenjak Rogožar and Trstenjak cvrkutić.
The environment that surrounds it is made up of farmland and some spots of holm oak and Pyrenean oak. This increases the diversity of species. Some of them are Grlica, Prepelica, Crnogrla Strnadica, Riđoglavi Svračak, Vrtna strnadica, etc. The raptor community is well represented with species such as Eja Močvarica, Eja Livadarka, Sova močvarica and Eja Strnjarica among others. Here we can see species as interesting as they are scarce at the provincial level. Highlighting Bijela lunja, Žličarka or Modrovoljka. Even Crna Roda, Blistavi Ibis or Patka Pupčanica have been cited.
