Descrição
Le Creux de Terre is the most important marsh in the Orb plain. In autumn, it is one of the best stopover sites for water birds and waders in Switzerland. You can see birds here like Garça-roxa, Tartaranhão-ruivo-dos-pauis, Socó-taquari, Escrevedeira-dos-caniços, Pilrito de Temminck, Narceja-comum and Pássaro-bique-bique. It is also a fishing spot for Guarda-rios-comum, herons, eagles and, much more exceptionally, the Abetouro-comum. The presence of this rare bird, demanding the quality of its biotope and sensitive to disturbances, demonstrates the importance of preserving small nature reserves on the plains.
