Description
The Pas reservoir, along with the Santa Rita reservoir, are two irrigation reservoirs located in the south-eastern area of the province of Huesca. Both are part of the Special Protection Area for Birds of 185 ha. The area is of great interest for waterfowl, especially for wintering birds with concentrations of several thousand birds. Also for migratory waders. But Embalse de El Pas is also important for breeding birds. In 2018 54 bird species have been observed breeding. Some of the nice birds you can see are Пеганка, Белобрюхий рябок, Сизоворонка, Ушастая сова and Беркут. But many more, see the list below.
