Description
Along the waterside in the village La Franqui there is a walkway and lots of benches to sit and watch the birds. The best time to visit is by sunrise early in the morning. Flamingo roz parade so close that your pictures will be super sharp! When the water level drops more and more, wading birds will appear! See the link to the tide table below. The lake holds a lot of fish and you can see large groups of Cormoran mare fishing. Among the birds you can encounter in the area are Flamingo roz, Cormoran mare, Fluierar de munte, Becațină comună, Sitar de mal, Prundăraș gulerat mare, Nisipar and Pietruș.
