Parque de los Lagos

Cádiz  >  Spain

A little known but nice park. Specially great for photographing, as birds are very approachable, including very close, even if occasional kopparand.

Beskrivning

Parque de los Lagos consists of 2 lakes and a channel that connects them. The surrounding vegetation consists of small fields and some sparse exotic bushes and trees. The closeby beach can be good for seawatching (Terns, storlabb, havssula) and it holds the common beach birds. There aren't many people, even in August. The top lake holds a small island, which has gråhäger and Silkeshäger, kungsfiskare and some of the usual waders. Both lakes have lots of sothöna, Smådopping and rörhöna, as well as hundreds of gräsand (both wild and domestic). Also domestic grågås and domestic Muscovy Ducks. Small numbers of Skedand, snatterand and brunand are present during winter. Also during winter, some rarer species might show up, like kopparand (mainly during dry years when wetlands are dry, up to 5), stjärtand, vigg, vitögd dykand or rödhuvad dykand. However, they aren't regular. Duck hybrids aren't uncommon. The freshwater attracts loads of gulls (most notably rödnäbbad trut), and may have some uncommon visitors on winter ( fiskmås, havstrut). The channel might ocasionally have kamsothöna, but again this is mainly during dry years and still uncommon. Look for vagrants (Notable records are 1 mindre bergand in 2021 and 1 jungfrutrana in 2015.) Passerine variety is low, but the place has a few wintering ladusvala. Some other birds might show up from the nearby agricultural fields, like rödhöna or dvärgörn.

Extra information

The urbanisation and park might be crowded during summer, but they're almost empty in winter. Though spring and auttumn may give you some cool species, but those seasons are better spent elsewhere.
