Description

Laguna de Salobrejo (or Salobralejo) is one of the few lagoons in the area that conserves water throughout the entire year, so it is especially interesting when the rest of the seasonal lagoons are dry. It hosts a large number of birds (several thousand) and a diversity of species during the winter. Good place to observe Bláhæna, Keldusvín or Skassörn. Only place in the province where Heiðasnípa has been recorded. Among the other birds you can encounter are Brúnheiðir, Bláheiðir, Rúkragi, Urtönd, Eirönd, Kólfönd, Stargoði, Skutulönd, Grágæs and Rauðflæmingi.
