Description

The Porto Pesqueiro in Sada is a medium-small size fishing port, located in the Ría de Betanzos. Numerous birds stop at it to rest and feed. Among them, the gulls stand out, being easy to see жолтоног галеб, мал црногрб галеб, езерски галеб, медитерански галеб, Голем морски галеб and Сребренест галеб, as well as the less common обичен галеб. There is also an important presence of waders that rest on the rocks of the jetty (sometimes in large numbers) and/or feed on them, with species such as камењарче, речна тринга, среден пескар, обичен свиркач, бел свиркач, Red Knot and црвенонога тринга.

Its long jetty, half a km long, allows an unbeatable view of a large part of the estuary (which at this point is about 2.5 km wide). From here you can see numerous sea birds such as мал галеб, тропрст галеб, Northern Gannet, Common Scoter, Мала бурница, Great Skua, голем морски нуркач, мал морски нуркач, морски корморан, тенкоклуна чигра, белокрила црнка, Razorbill, Common Guillemot, Atlantic Puffin and среден северен нуркач. In addition, many birds can be seen resting on the rafts, especially at high tide, such as сива чапја, мала бела чапја, голем корморан, all the species of gulls also present in the port itself and some terns. This enclave has two records of the snow bunting, one of the royal redstart and during the winter the speculated scoter is regular.
