Description

Located at Martinhal beach, this is a seasonal and quite small wetland where it is possible to observe several waterbird species in autumn and winter (especially after rainfall). Despite its size, the lagoon acts as a magnet for wandering waterfowl. Among the birds you can encounter are polojnik, beloceli deževnik, komatni deževnik, mali škurh, črna prosenka, španska kotorna, kamenjar, peščenec and spremenljivi prodnik.
