Beschrijving
What is left of the marshes of the Bouregreg, is a small patch that spans from the fortress of Chellah to the bridge Al-Fida. A few canals cut the marshes, which don't usually get flooded by the river. The ponds have small flocks of wintering ducks, and during the summer breeding Wilde Eend , Steltkluut and Kleine Plevier. Marmereend has bred here in recent years. Near Chellah, the vegetation that is used to fence the small farms, a large Koereiger colony gathers during Spring. This colony also has important numbers of breeding Zwarte Ibis and Kwak , as well as a few Kleine Zilverreiger . In the bushes and Mastic trees there are Tenerifepimpelmees , Grauwe Buulbuul , Vink and Westelijke Vale Spotvogel . Boomvalk (during Summer), Sperwer, Bruine Kiekendief and Torenvalk are regularly seen here, with the occasional visit of Atlasarendbuizerd . Species such as Havikarend , Porseleinhoen and Siberische Boompieper have also been seen here.

Toegang
You can access this site either via Chellah or near the Al-Fida bridge. From the Marjane Bouregreg (near the Al-Fida bridge), there is an entryway to the Eucalyptus patch (34.018874, -6.818534), and from there you can follow a path that will go under the rail tracks and opens into the marshes. The closest tramway station is Pont Hassan II, from there you can walk about 15 minutes to the Eucalyptus patch entrance.

The area is known among the locals to be a place where muggings can happen, so be vigilant while visiting the area. Ideally do not go there alone. At times there have been feral dogs in the area, so be prepared for that.
There are plans to develop this stretch of the Bouregreg shore, threatening this site.
