Beschrijving

La Laguna de la Nava is a great wetland for birding and a very important area for birds. It holds large flocks of Grauwe Gans, wintering waterfowl, steppe birds like Grote Trap, waders and ducks. Spring is the time of passage of migratory birds, such as Lepelaar, Tureluur and other waders and plovers. The breeding season has species such as Purperreiger, Bruine Kiekendief and Steltkluut among others. In summer despite of its water scarcity, the lagoon shelters several thousand Wilde Eend or hundreds of Ooievaar. In the autumn Kraanvogel and a wide variety of waders and other passage migrants can be seen.

Note: we got a comment (see below) that the area is totally dry (October 2024). If somebody has an update of the current situation, would be great if you could write a comment below.
