Description

Busa Giaretta is a place that at any moment can present unexpected surprises. Being a vast expanse of still water, in the middle of a widely cultivated and cemented plain, it is regularly chosen as a resting area during the migrations of Nordic species, but also as a permanent or reproductive habitat for many species. It is worth visiting on a regular basis, because surprises come suddenly, and suddenly they go away. Red-breasted Merganser , Whiskered Tern , White-winged Tern , Red Phalarope , Olive-backed Pipit are among the uncommon species that have been seen recently. A few steps away, the Brenta river offers further opportunities to observe other river or woodland species.

Italiano: : Un luogo che in ogni momento può riservare sorprese inaspettate. Essendo una vasta distesa di acque ferme, al centro di una pianura ampiamente coltivata e cementata, viene regolarmente scelta come area di sosta durante le migrazioni di specie nordiche, ma anche come habitat stanziale o riproduttivo per molte specie. Vale la pena visitarlo regolarmente, perché le sorprese arrivano all'improvviso e all'improvviso se ne vanno. Di recente, possiamo contare Red-breasted Merganser , Whiskered Tern , White-winged Tern , Red Phalarope , Olive-backed Pipit tra le altre specie non comuni. A pochi passi, il fiume Brenta offre ulteriori opportunità per osservare altre specie fluviali o boschive.
