Beskrivning
This natural area covers the mouth of the Guadiaro river, the wetland (that is an old island) and the beach. Despite its small size, its characteristics, closer to the Mediterranean Sea than to the Atlantic Ocean, make it an area of high bird's richness, with almost 230 species recorded. The bird species are typical of places of brackish water with little influence of tide and reedbeds: ducks, herons, rails and crakes, waders, seabirds, gulls, terns and waterbird passerines.
Among these species you will find: residents svartbent strandpipare, västlig purpurhöna, kungsfiskare or cettisångare; migrants rallhäger, purpurhäger, småfläckig sumphöna, styltlöpare, rödnäbbad trut, småtärna, Rostgumpsvala or trastsångare; wintering Fiskgjuse, vattenrall, pungmes or Sävsparv. You have breeding, among other, like dvärgrördrom and rörsångare. Some possible rarities are marmorand, dvärgbeckasin or dvärgsumphöna. The beach is a good place for seabirds, both in winter and on migration, like Gulnäbbad lira, balearisk lira or sjöorre.
