Description
The Salobrar de Campos has been declared a protected Área Natural de Especial Interés (ANEI) thanks to its dynamic and perfectly preserved ecosystem. It is a paradise for birds that rest and nest here. On the best days you can see more than 20 species of waders here. It is an ecosystem consisting of dunes, cultivated fields and lagoons from which salt is extracted. The mild climate of the island, the gentle sea breeze and the low humidity of this peculiar ecosystem allow the water to evaporate naturally and spontaneously. Birds you can see here are kazarka pestrá, plameniak ružový, chriašteľ vodný, šišila bocianovítá, šabliarka modronohá, kulík bledý, cibík chochlatý, kulík morský, kulík piesočný, kulík riečný, ležiak úhorový, hvizdák veľký, brehár čiernochvostý, bojovník bahenný, pobrežník sivý, pobrežník čiernozobý, pobrežník malý, kalužiačik malý, kalužiak tmavý, kalužiak močiarny, kalužiak červenonohý, prieložník stepný, čajka malá and čajka ostrovná.
