Aiguabarreig de Mequinenza is a natural area where the Segre, Cinca, and Ebro rivers converge, creating a rich and diverse ecosystem ideal for birdwatching.
The Aiguabarreig de Mequinenza offers a striking landscape, where the large wetlands formed by the confluence of major rivers meet the surrounding arid terrain. This unique environment makes it a strategic point for many birds, serving as a wintering, breeding, or migratory stopover site. The sediment accumulation at the tail of the Ribarroja reservoir has created various islands between the confluences of the Segre and Cinca rivers, extending to the Ebro in Mequinenza.
One notable island is l’Illa dels Martinets, an important breeding colony for many heron species, including Garca-vaqueira, Garça-branca-pequena, Garça-pequena, Socó-taquari, Garça-branca-grande, Garça-real and Garça-roxa. Recently, the Papa-ratos has also joined, and a few well-camouflaged Abetouro-comum winter here among the reeds.
The extensive and well-preserved riparian forests and reed beds host a diverse and interesting bird population year-round. Species such as rails, woodpeckers, thrushes, tits, finches, and buntings can be seen and heard, adding to the birdwatching experience amidst lush vegetation.
In the steppe environment, you can find emblematic species like Sisão, Cortiçol-de-barriga-preta, Cortiçol-de-barriga-branca, Rolieiro-comum and both calhandrinha and calhandrinha-das-marismas. Transitional areas between habitats feature species like Toutinegra-real, Toutinegra-tomilheira, Melro-azul and both Chasco-preto and Chasco-cinzento.
Finally, the Ebro Valley cliffs host a rich variety of cliff-dwelling species, particularly raptors, such as Grifo-comum, Abutre do Egipto, Águia-real, Águia de Bonelli, Águia-calçada, Águia-cobreira, Águia-d'asa-redonda, Tartaranhão-ruivo-dos-pauis, Milhafre-preto, Milhafre-real, falcão-peregrino and Bufo-real.
