Beschrijving

The Sečovlje Salines are located south of Lucija and consists of abandoned saline buildings, scattered trees and bushes and extensive salt fields (dry, filled with water or muddy, depending on the time of the year.) Fontanigge is located on the southern side of the salines and is a perfect area for many species of waterbirds, like ducks, geese, waders, gulls, herons and during migration many species of migrating songbird.

Common species of duck that can be found here are Wintertaling, Smient, Zomertaling and Bergeend. Scarcer species, like Witoogeend, Middelste Zaagbek and Grote Zee-eend can be found here too. Other regular species of waterbird that can be found here are Kuifduiker, Geoorde Fuut, Kuifaalscholver and Kleine Zilverreiger.

Waders and gulls can be very numerous, especially during migration. So many species can be observed at the area, like hundreds of Bonte Strandlopers, Strandplevier and Kemphaan. Large flocks of Geelpootmeeuw rest in the area.

There are too many species that can be found in the area to describe here. Anything can turn up at the area, from ducks and waders to songbirds. A total of 300+ species have been recorded here.
