Descrizione

This sheltered inlet is an internationally important wetland site for wildlife. Roughly half of the reserve is intertidal saltmarsh and mudflats, with the remainder of the reserve consisting of farmland, copses, lagoons, reedbeds and shingle beaches. You can see birds like Oca colombaccio, Codone, Fraticello, Pittima reale and Garzetta. In winter large numbers of Oca colombaccio, Pavoncella and Pittima reale use the harbour or surrounding fields, with a supporting cast which includes Pivieressa, Piviere dorato and Piovanello pancianera. Svasso cornuto are seen offshore and Smergo minore in the harbour. Waders and wildfowl linger well into spring, including Chiurlo maggiore, Pivieressa, Pittima minore and Pittima reale, Piovanello pancianera, Codone, Fischione, Alzavola and Oca colombaccio. Smaller migrants arrive, such as Forapaglie comune, Cannaiola and Luì grosso, Capinera and Luì piccolo sing in the bushes and Culbianco hop about the beach. In summer Fraticello and Sterna comune can be seen fishing in the harbour.
