Descrição
Els Muntanyans of Torredembarra and Creixell is a natural wetland situated between the sea and the railway. This natural site holds several small ponds, saltmarshes with glasswort and small dunes where interesting reptiles can be found like spiny-footed lizard (Acanthodactylus erythrurus). In the wetlands several bird species can be seen during all the year like Pato-real, Mergulhão-pequeno, Galinha-d'água, Gaivota-de-patas-amarelas, and other birds like Toutinegra-de-cabeça-preta, Cartaxo-comum or Fuinha-dos-juncos.
The site is remarkable because the Borrelho-de-coleira-interrompida breeds in this wetland and Caimão has also bred. But is during migrations when the site is more interesting as several shorebird species can be found, like Borrelho-grande-de-coleira, Pilrito-sanderlingo or Perna-vermelha-comum , and several small passerines occur in the reeds, the marshy areas and the dunes; is the case of Chasco-cinzento, Cartaxo-nortenho, rouxinol-dos-caniços, Toutinegra-de-barrette-preto and several swallows. Gaivota de Audouin is present most of the year except in winter months.
