Description

A small grove with a few trees and bushes in the island's capital Arrecife is the breeding ground for numerous Египетская цапля. The area is fenced off, but the nests with the breeding birds are easy to observe. Furthermore, Индийский кольчатый попугай, Черногрудый воробей, Белопоясничный стриж and Кольчатая горлица can be observed here. Pigeons are fed here. Containers of water are even provided for the Египетская цапля. Across the street from the beach is a park where birds can also be observed.
