Beskrivning
Els Muntanyans of Torredembarra and Creixell is a natural wetland situated between the sea and the railway. This natural site holds several small ponds, saltmarshes with glasswort and small dunes where interesting reptiles can be found like spiny-footed lizard (Acanthodactylus erythrurus). In the wetlands several bird species can be seen during all the year like gräsand, Smådopping, rörhöna, medelhavstrut, and other birds like sammetshätta, svarthakad buskskvätta or grässångare.
The site is remarkable because the svartbent strandpipare breeds in this wetland and västlig purpurhöna has also bred. But is during migrations when the site is more interesting as several shorebird species can be found, like större strandpipare, sandlöpare or rödbena , and several small passerines occur in the reeds, the marshy areas and the dunes; is the case of stenskvätta, buskskvätta, rörsångare, svarthätta and several swallows. rödnäbbad trut is present most of the year except in winter months.
