Beschrijving

The Salina dei Monaci of Torre Colimena is just beyond the border of the province of Lecce, along the Ionian coast of Puglia, entering the territory of Taranto, Salina dei Monaci is a small oasis surrounded by two ecosystems of extraordinary charm: the Mediterranean scrub, typical of the Ionian coast of Salento, and the high sand dunes that separate it from the sea. Its main feature is the very small salt lake where, during high tide, the sea water flows along a small channel. An optimal environment for many migratory birds and therefore an ideal destination for birdwatchers. During the spring it is possible to admire several migratory birds that choose the salt pan as a resting area to find nourishment. Among the birds you can observe in the area are Bergeend, Flamingo, Steltkluut, Kluut, Strandplevier, Bonte Strandloper, Krombekstrandloper, Dwergstern, Audouins Meeuw, Dwergmeeuw, Kleine Zwartkop, Graszanger, Kuifleeuwerik.

Italiano: Salina dei Monaci è una piccola oasi circondata da due ecosistemi dal fascino straordinario: la macchia mediterranea, tipica della costa ionica salentina, e le alte dune di sabbia che la separano dal mare. La sua caratteristica principale è il piccolissimo lago salato dove, durante l’alta marea, l’acqua del mare scorre lungo un piccolo canale. Un’ambiente ottimale per molti uccelli migratori e quindi meta ideale per gli amanti del birdwatching. Durante la primavera è possibile ammirare diversi uccelli migratori che scelgono la salina come area di sosta per trovare nutrimento.
