Descrição

There's a variety of habitats around the village of Sfantu Gheorghe you can reach on foot. Abelharuco-comum are one of the most common species. They breed in every sandhill and you can hear their call all the time.

If you go east on the way to the beach you pass by a marsh and open habitats with bushes. In the marsh there is a colony of Gaivina-de-faces-brancas and you can see Zarro-castanho and all species of herons as well. In the open habitats between the village and the sea you can find tons of songbirds like Felosa-pálida, Papa-moscas-pequeno, Papa-moscas-de-colar, Felosa-musical, Picanço-pequeno, Picanço-de-dorso-ruivo, papa-amoras-cinzento, Papa-amoras-comum, Pisco-de-peito-azul during migration. At the beach you can go seawatching. There are chances for different waders like Ostraceiro and Maçarico-galego you usually don't see on shore, gulls like Alcatraz-de-cabeça-preta, Gaivota-de-cabeça-preta and even Gaivota-de-bico-fino as well as terns like Garajau-comum, Gaivina-de-bico-vermelho and Andorinha-do-mar-anã. If you are lucky you may even see a Mobêlha-árctica or Moleiro-parasítico flying along the coast.

Another nice walk is north the village. If you leave Sfantu Gheorghe at the lighthouse and go north along a path at the edge of the forest you have good chances to see golden jackals, but also many birds like Papa-moscas-cinzento, Papa-figos and Pica-pau-cinzento. Especially in the area around the lighthouse there are many Rolieiro-comum, Poupa and of course Abelharuco-comum, but also Picanço-pequeno and Mocho-galego.

If you want to go on boat trips going to Lacuna Sacalin or along the Tataru Canal is recommended. On the way to the lagoon you can hear many birds in the willows along the canal. Pelicano-crespo and Pelicano-vulgar are swimming on the river, Socó-taquari are sitting in the willows and several Águia-rabalva are living along the canal. In the lagoon itself you can see fishing pelicans and huge colonies of terns and gulls breeding on the aquatic plants. Please consider that it is forbidden to enter most of the lagoon that is marked with buoys.

Along the Tataru canal you find open habitats as well as forests. There are many different birds like Rouxinol-russo, Papa-figos, Rolieiro-comum, Poupa, Picanço-pequeno, Bufo-pequeno, Rola-comum, Ógea, Falcão-de-pés-vermelhos and many more.

There is a ferry connection from Tulcea to Sfantu Gheorghe (Tulcea - Baltenii de sus - Mahmudia - Sfantu Gheorghe) along the Saint George branch or you can arrange a speedboat transfer from any of the towns along the branch.
