Description

The Salgado de Aveiro is a vast area of salt exploration located in the Ria de Aveiro. The salt pans, although an artificial habitat, are of great value to waterfowl, allowing a balance between the economic exploitation of a resource and the conservation of natural values. Ria de Aveiro shelters during the winter more than 20.000 migratory birds. A good place for birding, but note that you have to make a reservation to get in (see the info below). Among the birds you can see are Галагаз євразійський, Фламінго. Пірникоза мала, Ходулoчник, Пісочник морський, Пісочник великий, Кульон середній, Грицик великий, Крем’яшник звичайний, Побережник чорногрудий, Побережник малий, Набережник палеарктичний, Коловодник звичайний, Крячок малий, Крячок рябодзьобий and Лунь очеретяний.
