During migration there are huge amount of Grou-comum, geese, ducks, sandpipers and other flocks of birds.

Around the lake also Codornizão can be heard and if you are extremely lucky seen. In the last 30 years, 234 bird species have been observed in Zuvintas.

Detalhes

Acesso

Although it is certainly a place worth visiting, especially for its beauty, there is only one accesible place, the observation tower near the reception center, which is reached by a wooden path in very bad condition (be careful here). Being a fairly large lake, you will need a telescope to be able to watch birds.

Informação extra

Information added by user Gulliver: Spring and Autumn are good times to observe large flocks of geese and ducks. But in summer, almost all migratory songbirds have gone and only low numbers of birds remain in the lake: Corvo-marinho-de-faces-brancas, Pato-real, Abibe-comum, Ganso-comum, Garça-branca-grande, Tartaranhão-ruivo-dos-pauis, etc. August is a good time to see Águia-rabalva in their perch in the opposite shore of the lake (telescope). In the surrounding cultivated fields you will be able to see Perdiz-cinzenta, Grou-comum, Cegonha-branca, Escrevedeira-amarela, Cartaxo-nortenho and Picanço-de-dorso-ruivo.
