Description

Laguna de Boada is located in Boada de Campos, in the heart of Tierra de Campos, an cereal-growing and flat region. The lagoon was dried up in the 70s, but its recovery has allowed this enclave to return its ornithological wealth. In summer you can see birds like Montagu's Harrier or Lesser Kestrel, as well as Great Bustard present all year round. But the winter months are the best for birdwatching, with large numbers of ducks, among which the Greylag Goose stands out. In addition to Common Crane, Northern Lapwing and Merlin.

Espagnol: Laguna esteparia desecada y recuperada. La laguna de Boada se encuentra en Boada de Campos, en plena Tierra de Campos, comarca eminentemente cerealista y llana. La laguna fue desecada en los años 70, pero su recuperación ha permitido devolver a este enclave su riqueza ornitológica. En verano se pueden ver en este entorno aves tan interesantes como el Montagu's Harrier o el Lesser Kestrel, además de la Great Bustard presente todo el año. Pero son los meses invernales los mejores para la observación de aves, con grandes cantidades de anátidas, entre las que destaca el Greylag Goose. Además de Common Crane, Northern Lapwing o Merlin.
