Description

Parco Le Folaghe or Oasi Sovracomunale le Folaghe is a wetland that is located on the migratory routes of many birds. Combined with the variety of environments (shallow and deep waters, wooded areas, within a large area used for intensive agriculture) this attracts many birds. More than 260 bird species have been recorded. From the only observation hide south of the lake, with a telescope, you can observe: waders like обичен свиркач, обична бекасина, речна тринга, шумска тринга and шарена тринга, herons like мала бела чапја, црвена чапја, жолта чапја, ноќна чапја and голема бела чапја. The area has great potential for viewing aquatic species and passerines in the neighboring bush. Difficult to take good photographs if you do not have very strong telescopic lenses.

Italiano: L'area è costituita da una ex-cava di argilla riempita d'acqua, con limo e vegetazione palustre a circondarla. Accesso comodo da una strada bianca. Dall'unico capanno di osservazione a sud del lago, con un cannocchiale, si possono osservare: limicoli come обичен свиркач, обична бекасина, речна тринга, шумска тринга e шарена тринга, aironi come la мала бела чапја, црвена чапја, жолта чапја, ноќна чапја e l' голема бела чапја. L'area ha un grande potenziale per l'osservazione di specie acquatiche e passeriformi nei cespugli limitrofi. Difficile fare buone fotografie se non si è in possesso di obiettivi telescopici molto spinti.
