Description

Just 20 minutes from A Coruña the the Abegondo-Cecebre reservoir is a wide stretch of water with a surprising diversity of birds. It is protected area that is very good for watching ducks, herons, waders and grebes in autumn and winter. The shallowness of the reservoir (maximum of 15 m and average of 6 m) allows it to accommodate a large cross section of water birds. The reservoir attracts birds such as Balık kartalı, Kara çaylak, Bahri, Büyük ak balýkçýl, Yeşil düdükçün, Dağ kuyruksallayanı and İberya Çıvgını. Various ducks, gulls and Karabatak complete the list. The Piadela and Crendes bird observatories provide excellent opportunities for bird watching and photography. The surrounding mountains are also nice to explore for birds.
