Descrizione
Molentargius, which was the richest Sardinian basin for sea-salt extraction for two and a half centuries - an activity that ceased in 1985 - has become one of the main resting and nesting sites of aquatic birds in Europe. The Molentargius Saline extends across 1,600 hectares near the city of Cagliari. There are many bigger an smaller lagoons you can visit. One of the best places for birdwatching is the smaller lagoon of Stagno Perdabianca (1). Also of interest are the two main lagoons. Bellarosa Maggiore (2) is a large brackish lagoon and Bellarosa Minore (3) to the north east, is a smaller freshwater lagoon. In between the lagoons, there are numerous reed-filled freshwater pools and canals.
In the Stagno Perdabianca Fenicottero can often be observed from a short distance, as well as a Pellicano comune that lives there for several years. A Airone guardabuoi colony with a small observation platform is located on Viale della Fauna, just northeast of the observation tower.
On the embankment of Bellarosa Maggiore Fenicottero and Gabbiano roseo nest. The reed of the Bellarosa Minore is a refuge for nesting birds as Airone guardabuoi, Cavaliere d'Italia, Garzetta and numerous species of ducks. With a little luck, you will see Pollo sultano, with its metallic blue plumage and scarlet red beak.
Other interesting breeding birds are Sgarza ciuffetto, Airone rosso, Nitticora, Sterna zampenere, Fraticello, Moretta tabaccata, Avocetta, Falco di palude and Fratino.
The lagoons are also very good for migrant species, including Mignattaio, Spatola, Marzaiola, Totano moro and plenty of other waders. Wintering species include Fistione turco and Spatola.
