Steppe lagoon with permanent waters. One of the largest and most important steppe lagoons in the province of León.
Laguna Sentiz is one of the largest and most important steppe lagoons in the province of León. It is close to the town of Valdepolo, just over half an hour from the capital of León. It is a permanent water lagoon surrounded by marsh vegetation. In it you can find aquatic species, open water and linked to the reed like herons (сива чапја, црвена чапја, Мал воден бик), ducks such as Дива патка, патка лажичарка or патка берија and passerines such as Мочварна овесарка, мал трскар and трскар рогозар.
The environment that surrounds it is made up of farmland and some spots of holm oak and Pyrenean oak. This increases the diversity of species. Some of them are грлица, потполошка, црногрла стрнарка, црвеноглаво страче, градинарска стрнарка, etc. The raptor community is well represented with species such as блатна еја, ливадска еја, блатен був and Полска еја among others. Here we can see species as interesting as they are scarce at the provincial level. Highlighting Black-winged Kite, чапја лажичарка or Синогушка. Even црн штрк, ибис or патка крецка have been cited.
