Descrizione
The Aiguabarreig de Mequinenza offers a striking landscape, where the large wetlands formed by the confluence of major rivers meet the surrounding arid terrain. This unique environment makes it a strategic point for many birds, serving as a wintering, breeding, or migratory stopover site. The sediment accumulation at the tail of the Ribarroja reservoir has created various islands between the confluences of the Segre and Cinca rivers, extending to the Ebro in Mequinenza.
One notable island is l’Illa dels Martinets, an important breeding colony for many heron species, including Airone guardabuoi, Garzetta, Tarabusino, Nitticora, Airone bianco maggiore, Airone cenerino and Airone rosso. Recently, the Sgarza ciuffetto has also joined, and a few well-camouflaged Tarabuso winter here among the reeds.
The extensive and well-preserved riparian forests and reed beds host a diverse and interesting bird population year-round. Species such as rails, woodpeckers, thrushes, tits, finches, and buntings can be seen and heard, adding to the birdwatching experience amidst lush vegetation.
In the steppe environment, you can find emblematic species like Gallina prataiola, Ganga, Grandule, Ghiandaia marina and both Calandrella and Calandrina. Transitional areas between habitats feature species like Bigia grossa, Sterpazzola della Sardegna, Passero solitario and both Monachella nera and Culbianco.
Finally, the Ebro Valley cliffs host a rich variety of cliff-dwelling species, particularly raptors, such as Grifone, Capovaccaio, Aquila reale, Aquila di Bonelli, Aquila minore, Biancone, Poiana, Falco di palude, Nibbio bruno, Nibbio reale, Falco pellegrino and Gufo reale.
