Descrizione
This natural area covers the mouth of the Guadiaro river, the wetland (that is an old island) and the beach. Despite its small size, its characteristics, closer to the Mediterranean Sea than to the Atlantic Ocean, make it an area of high bird's richness, with almost 230 species recorded. The bird species are typical of places of brackish water with little influence of tide and reedbeds: ducks, herons, rails and crakes, waders, seabirds, gulls, terns and waterbird passerines.
Among these species you will find: residents Fratino, Pollo sultano, Martin pescatore or Usignolo di fiume; migrants Sgarza ciuffetto, Airone rosso, Voltolino, Cavaliere d'Italia, Gabbiano corso, Fraticello, Rondine rossiccia or Cannareccione; wintering Falco pescatore, Porciglione, Pendolino or Migliarino di palude. You have breeding, among other, like Tarabusino and Cannaiola. Some possible rarities are Anatra marmorizzata, Frullino or Schiribilla grigiata. The beach is a good place for seabirds, both in winter and on migration, like Berta maggiore, Berta balearica or Orchetto marino.
