Descrição

Molentargius, which was the richest Sardinian basin for sea-salt extraction for two and a half centuries - an activity that ceased in 1985 - has become one of the main resting and nesting sites of aquatic birds in Europe. The Molentargius Saline extends across 1,600 hectares near the city of Cagliari. There are many bigger an smaller lagoons you can visit. One of the best places for birdwatching is the smaller lagoon of Stagno Perdabianca (1). Also of interest are the two main lagoons. Bellarosa Maggiore (2) is a large brackish lagoon and Bellarosa Minore (3) to the north east, is a smaller freshwater lagoon. In between the lagoons, there are numerous reed-filled freshwater pools and canals.

In the Stagno Perdabianca Flamingo-comum can often be observed from a short distance, as well as a Pelicano-vulgar that lives there for several years. A Garca-vaqueira colony with a small observation platform is located on Viale della Fauna, just northeast of the observation tower.

On the embankment of Bellarosa Maggiore Flamingo-comum and Gaivota-de-bico-fino nest. The reed of the Bellarosa Minore is a refuge for nesting birds as Garca-vaqueira, Pernilongo, Garça-branca-pequena and numerous species of ducks. With a little luck, you will see Caimão, with its metallic blue plumage and scarlet red beak.

Other interesting breeding birds are Papa-ratos, Garça-roxa, Socó-taquari, Gaivina-de-bico-preto, Andorinha-do-mar-anã, Zarro-castanho, Alfaiate, Tartaranhão-ruivo-dos-pauis and Borrelho-de-coleira-interrompida.

The lagoons are also very good for migrant species, including Íbis-preta, Colhereiro, Marreco, Perna-vermelha-escuro and plenty of other waders. Wintering species include Pato-de-bico-vermelho and Colhereiro.
