Description
The marsh itself is usually a good place for herons like the Egretă mică or Stârc pitic. Furthermore during breeding season you should pay attention to Erete de stuf, Privighetoare de baltă, Stufărică, Stufărică pătată and other typical aquatic or reed-specialised species. Depending on the water level dabbling ducks ( Rață mică, Rață lingurar and others) or eventually waders can be found resting in the reserve.
The beach confining to the reserve, and especially around the eponymous relict of the "Torre Flavia" is a good spot for seawatching. Pay attention to Ielcovan mediteranean, Pescăruș mediteranean and Corb de mare. Waders might also be found there, like Prundăraș de sărătură in the winter.
Finally, don't overlook the pastures, where Ciocârlan, Wagtails and Pipits can be expected.

Access
A car park is situated roughly at the corner of "Via Roma" (coming from Ladispoli centre) and "Via Fontana Morella" (coming from Marina di Cerveteri). Both towns are easily reached from the A 12 motorway (Rome-Civitavecchia). For approaching the area by public transport, one could consider arriving by train to Ladispoli and take then a bicycle or simply walking to the site (roughly 35 minutes).
