Bahia de Cadiz (Cadiz Bay) is a huge area and often difficult to access but this walk takes you through some typical habitat.
This is an easy and pleasant introduction to the birds of the Bahia de Cadiz. For best results try to visit on a rising tide so birds will be pushed towards you although any time should produce good birds. A raised path gives you a circular route where you can expect all of the usual waders - Residents like Црвенонога сабјарка , сабјарка, среден пескар and морски пескар and migrants/winter visitors such as сиво блатарче , Red Knot , бел свиркач , мал свиркач , белокрстен свиркач , обичен свиркач , црноопашна блатарка , Bar-tailed Godwit , шарен српоклун свиркач голем српоклун свиркач , црвенонога тринга , зеленонога тринга, речна тринга , etc.
Whilst in the area it's also worth checking the village of old Sancti Petri which is on a spit at the mouth of the bay not only for more waders but also gulls and terns (often including касписка рибарка ).
From the A 48 east of Chiclana take the Carre. de las Lagunas that cuts across the southern part of Chiclana to Ctra de la Barrosa where you go left towards Sancti Petri. After c1 km look out for a prominent white gateway (Puerto de Carboneros) that marks the start of the footpath and park nearby in the Calle Santa Maria la Morgarizas. (Also accessible by bus from the centre of Chiclana). You can also access the area from the north via Calle Carboneros (running west from just beyond a nearby Lidl store.
