Descrizione
Salinas Nuestra Señora del Rocío is a flat open area with both active and disused saltpans. Best covered by car (which can act as a hide) with short stops. The route along the river is bests tackled on foot as the track is very poor but be careful not to cause excessive disturbance and be aware that the route can be very exposed and hot in late spring and early autumn. This is the must-visit site in Cadiz province for wading birds.
A good track takes you through working salinas which attract numerous waders particularly during passage when you can expect good numbers of Piovanello comune, Piovanello pancianera , Piovanello tridattilo, Avocetta ,Cavaliere d'Italia Fratino etc. Falaropo beccosottile is regular in small numbers. Stay in your car to make the most of photographic opportunities. Huge numbers of Fenicottero present (and Fenicottero minore has been recorded) plus Garzetta and Airone bianco maggiore (increasing). Passage also brings Cicogna nera some of which winter. A good site for Mignattaio. It is also an excellent site for Gabbiano roseo and terns such as Fraticello Sterna maggiore and Mignattino piombato. In autumn and winter Falco pescatore are unmissable. Falco di palude, Aquila minore & Nibbio bruno are frequent and it's one of the few areas in Cadiz province where Nibbio reale can be regularly found. For many years it has been possible to turn right at the T-junction (see map) to reach a small white building (a pumping station) but this route is sometimes gated and can only be approached on foot. If you can reach the pumping station it can be particularly attractive for gulls, terns etc.
Instead of turning right at the T-junction by going left you reach the Guadalquivir river. Park on the track before you reach the river and walk north parallel with the river. Away from the wetter salinas check the salt tolerant low vegetation along the river for Sterpazzola della Sardegna (summer) and Calandrina (resident). Cutrettola (Belonging to the Spanish race) are numerous. Bushes here may also hold migrants (e.g. Sterpazzolina). Keep checking for raptors on the far side of the river as there's an outside chance of seeing a Aquila imperiale iberica here. It's possible to walk further along the track by the river than shown but this route will get you most of the species with minimal effort.
