Descrição
Alykes wetlands is located on the southeastern side of the Kalloni saltpans, and consists mostly of an open grassland with seasonal pools, beaches on the south and a great view over the eastern side of the saltpans. Especially during spring, the area is beautiful and the grasslands are green, wet and provide a great foraging area for species, like Petinha-dos-campos, calhandrinha, Alcaravão, Perdiz-do-mar and Sombria. Also, with a bit of luck, you can come accross Codorniz here.
The seasonal pools are great for waders, waterfowl, gulls, terns, storks, Íbis-preta and egrets. There can be many pools to check, so take your time!
The beaches are great for large flocks of gulls and terns. On the sea, groups of grebes, like Mergulhão-de-pescoço-preto, can be seen here during winter. Along the beach, scattered coastal bushes provide a great opportunity for Rouxinol-do-mato.
This area also provides a great view over the eastern part of the saltpans, although you need to look through the mesh of a chain link fence. Still, it can be worth the check, because birds tend to hang close to this fence. DON'T DISTURB THESE BIRDS, AND TAKE A SLOW PACE TOWARDS THE FENCE AT FIRST.
