Descrição

The area consists of a large water mass, an old sand extraction area, which is still connected to the Lek river. It is surrounded with lush vegetation and several agricultural fields. Especially in winter, the water is great for many species of waterbird, like Pato-olho-d'ouro, Merganso-grande and Merganso-pequeno. Rare waterbirds, like Pato-fusco and Mobêlha-pequena have been seen here too. The shores are great for Guarda-rios-comum and Mergulhão-pequeno. During the breeding season, large flocks of Andorinha-das-barreiras can been seen foraging above the basin.

The lush vegetation surrounding the water basin, consisting of small trees and bushes, are great for many species of songbird during spring. Common species are Papa-amoras-comum, Cartaxo-comum and Pardal-montez. During spring migration, the area is great for Melro-de-peito-branco and Cartaxo-nortenho. Also, keep a look out above the river, because during migration Águia-pesqueira tend to pass you by.
