Descrição

Route on the east bank of the Guadalquivir. Starting at the northern end of Pinar de Algaida you have a good view across the marismas where you have a good chance of Tartaranhão-ruivo-dos-pauis and Milhafre-real (local in Cadiz province). Continuing towards the River Gudalquivir by turning left (near a prominent weir) you have the river on the right and more marismas on the left. Look for a variety of waders in riverside pools, scan the low salt-resistant vegetation for alvéola-amarela, calhandrinha and Toutinegra-tomilheira (summer) and the resident calhandrinha-das-marismas. The very scarce Cortiçol-de-barriga-branca is an outside possibility here. At the end of the drivable track scan the flooded salinas for Flamingo-comum and keep an eye on the sky for a variety of raptors.

Returning to the weir continue along the Guadalquivir (now on your left) but stop after c400m at the first set of pools on your left. This is the Codo de la Esparraguera which is a prime site for Pardilheira although this iconic species can be seen anywhere in the pools for the next 3 km. These pools also hold Íbis-preta, Flamingo-comum, Colhereiro, Pato-de-bico-vermelho, etc. The river itself attracts Gaivina-de-bico-preto and Gaivota-de-bico-fino and Perdiz-do-mar hawk over the marshes.

Just after the road turns away from the river towards Trebujena, pull over and explore the new reserve across the road to explore the site on foot. At the time of writing (April 2020) this is still being developed but when complete will consist of several pools, a hide and watchtower. Again look out or Toutinegra-tomilheira and calhandrinha-das-marismas in the low cover here and scan the marismas from the watchtower for the very elusive Cortiçol-de-barriga-branca (esp. early morning/evening). As the road climbs towards Trebujena you enter an area of low intesity vineyards. In late spring and summer this area should be checked for the rare and declining Rouxinol-do-mato (best sought for in the morning).
