Description

This site is the main location for the reintroduced Ібіс-лисоголов мароканський. Although often present early mornings and evenings throughout the year, the birds are best looked for in spring. They next on a rock face besides a busy road but a crash barrier keeps birders safe and a small shelter protects against sun and rain. There are excellent opportunities to photograph the species both by barrier, in flight and often in the large sandy car park nearby. A Чапля єгипетська colony in the nearby reeds has recently been abandoned but may yet return. The Venta Pinto across the main road is a great place to stop for a coffee and snack to plan the rest of your day.
