Descrição

The shallow lakes are often swarmed with ducks and grebes, sometimes geese, while on the sides you can find Garça-real or even Garça-branca-grande. Tartaranhão-ruivo-dos-pauis can be seen hunting from the viewpoints. In spring, especially the path between the parking and the lakes is very good for songbirds like Felosa-musical , Pintarroxo-comum , Toutinegra-de-barrette-preto , papa-amoras-cinzento and Verdilhão-comum, but also Felosa-icterina, Rouxinol-comum and Felosa-das-figueiras. The path between the lakes is good for Pisco-de-peito-azul. From the far viewpoint you have good views over both lakes.

_________________________

Nederlands: De Horsmeertjes zijn ondiepe meren omgeven door dicht struikgewas en struweel. Je kunt rond een meer wandelen of naar een van de uitkijkpunten lopen. De plassen wemelen vaak van eenden en futen, soms ganzen, terwijl aan de zijkanten Garça-real of zelfs Garça-branca-grande te vinden is. Tartaranhão-ruivo-dos-pauis kun je vanaf de uitkijkpunten zien jagen. In het voorjaar is vooral het pad tussen de parking en de meertjes erg goed voor zangvogels als Felosa-musical, Pintarroxo-comum, Toutinegra-de-barrette-preto, papa-amoras-cinzento en Verdilhão-comum, maar ook Felosa-icterina, Rouxinol-comum en Felosa-das-figueiras. Het pad tussen de plassen is goed voor Pisco-de-peito-azul. Vanuit het verre uitzichtpunt heb je een mooi uitzicht over beide meren.
