Descrição
This natural area covers the mouth of the Guadiaro river, the wetland (that is an old island) and the beach. Despite its small size, its characteristics, closer to the Mediterranean Sea than to the Atlantic Ocean, make it an area of high bird's richness, with almost 230 species recorded. The bird species are typical of places of brackish water with little influence of tide and reedbeds: ducks, herons, rails and crakes, waders, seabirds, gulls, terns and waterbird passerines.
Among these species you will find: residents Borrelho-de-coleira-interrompida, Caimão, Guarda-rios-comum or Rouxinol-bravo; migrants Papa-ratos, Garça-roxa, Franga-d'água-grande, Pernilongo, Gaivota de Audouin, Andorinha-do-mar-anã, Andorinha-dáurica or Rouxinol-grande-dos-caniços; wintering Águia-pesqueira, Frango-d'água, Chapim-de-faces-pretas or Escrevedeira-dos-caniços. You have breeding, among other, like Garça-pequena and rouxinol-dos-caniços. Some possible rarities are Pardilheira, Narceja-galega or Franga-d'água-pequena. The beach is a good place for seabirds, both in winter and on migration, like Bobo-grande, Pardela do Mediterrâneo or Pato-preto.
