Description

The Bolle of Magadino, between the mouth of the Verzasca and the Magadino plain, are a precious wildlife refuge. It is the only mouth of a river in a lake which has remained in its natural state south of the Alps (and one of the few in Europe); they are rich in aquatic and terrestrial biotopes in various phases of evolution. More than 300 species of birds have been seen here. Among the birds you can see here are Нильский гусь, Широконоска, Свиязь, Хохлатая чернеть, Большой крохаль, Малая поганка, Чомга, Кольчатая горлица, Большой баклан, Большая выпь, Серая цапля, Большая белая цапля, Египетская цапля, Скопа, Обыкновенный осоед, Болотный лунь, Полевой лунь, Перепелятник, Чёрный коршун, Канюк, Домовый сыч, Обыкновенный зимородок, Большой пёстрый дятел, Желна, Пустельга обыкновенная, Иволга, Сойка, Серая ворона, Московка, Лазоревка, Большая синица, Обыкновенный ремез, Тростниковая камышевка, Береговушка, Деревенская ласточка, Ополовник, Обыкновенный поползень, Короткопалая пищуха, Зарянка, Южный соловей, Белая трясогузка, Зяблик, Обыкновенная зеленушка and Тростниковая овсянка.
