Description
Despite its small size La Marjal dels Moros is home to some large bird populations of several species, including seriously endangered species. One of the highlights in springtime are the flocks of different types of wading birds that come here to breed, including colonies of Crvenokljuna Čigra, Mala Čigra, Riđokrila Pješčarka, Bjelobrada Čigra and Vlastelica. There is also a large breeding population of Patka Gogoljica, which is increasingly rare in Valencia. The Mramorna patka is another endangered species that breeds here, and the Marjal marks its northernmost location in Europe. In wintertime you can see large flocks of Mala Bijela Čaplja and Patka Žličarka, as well as spectacular gatherings of Veliki Vranac, and it is not uncommon to see Plamenac, Velika Bijela Čaplja or Blistavi Ibis. Other nice birds you can see include Eja Močvarica, Mali Gnjurac, Mlakuša, Europska velika sultanka and Vodomar.
