Descrizione
Els Muntanyans of Torredembarra and Creixell is a natural wetland situated between the sea and the railway. This natural site holds several small ponds, saltmarshes with glasswort and small dunes where interesting reptiles can be found like spiny-footed lizard (Acanthodactylus erythrurus). In the wetlands several bird species can be seen during all the year like Germano reale, Tuffetto, Gallinella d'acqua, Gabbiano reale, and other birds like Occhiocotto, Saltimpalo or Beccamoschino.
The site is remarkable because the Fratino breeds in this wetland and Pollo sultano has also bred. But is during migrations when the site is more interesting as several shorebird species can be found, like Corriere grosso, Piovanello tridattilo or Pettegola , and several small passerines occur in the reeds, the marshy areas and the dunes; is the case of Culbianco, Stiaccino, Cannaiola, Capinera and several swallows. Gabbiano corso is present most of the year except in winter months.
