Description

Of the two Terlago lakes, the northern one is for recreation. The southern lake Biotopo di Terlago is more natural and has varied and abundant birdlife throughout the year. The observable species range from woodland to aquatic to mountain species. The site is easily accessible from Trento and there is a circular route close to the banks. One section is equipped with a walkway and an observation tower. The most interesting bird species that can be observed are the Western Marsh Harrier (a couple seems to be sedentary), Short-toed Snake Eagle, Common Teal, Little Egret, Black-crowned Night Heron, Green Sandpiper and Little Bittern. There is a good presence of Eurasian Green Woodpecker and Great Spotted Woodpecker which nest in the surrounding woods. Inevitable is the Grey Heron.
