Descrição
What is left of the marshes of the Bouregreg, is a small patch that spans from the fortress of Chellah to the bridge Al-Fida. A few canals cut the marshes, which don't usually get flooded by the river. The ponds have small flocks of wintering ducks, and during the summer breeding Pato-real , Pernilongo and Borrelho-pequeno-de-coleira. Pardilheira has bred here in recent years. Near Chellah, the vegetation that is used to fence the small farms, a large Garca-vaqueira colony gathers during Spring. This colony also has important numbers of breeding Íbis-preta and Socó-taquari , as well as a few Garça-branca-pequena . In the bushes and Mastic trees there are Chapim-azul-africano , Tuta-negra , Tentilhão-comum and Western Olivaceous Warbler . Ógea (during Summer), Gavião da Europa, Tartaranhão-ruivo-dos-pauis and peneireiro-de-dorso-malhado / peneireiro are regularly seen here, with the occasional visit of Atlas Long-legged Buzzard . Species such as Águia de Bonelli , Franga-d'água-grande and Petinha-silvestre have also been seen here.

The area is known among the locals to be a place where muggings can happen, so be vigilant while visiting the area. Ideally do not go there alone. At times there have been feral dogs in the area, so be prepared for that.
There are plans to develop this stretch of the Bouregreg shore, threatening this site.
