Description

Biotopo del Taio is a marshy area of 4.5 hectares surrounded by green vineyards. Among the birds that have been observed over the years are Little Bittern, Great Bittern, Common Kingfisher, Great Reed Warbler, Eurasian Coot, Eurasian Moorhen, Mallard, Grey Heron, Purple Heron, Great Egret, Little Grebe, Great Crested Grebe and Eurasian Green Woodpecker. The place always delivers interesting observations both of the species that nest and of those passing through. Not rare are the encounters with birds of prey such as Black Kite, Common Buzzard and Eurasian Kestrel which are concentrated more in the surrounding countryside.
