Rice paddies are nesting places for some protected birds and feeding place for many birds, both in summer and during winter flooding. The freshwater lagoon measures 7 hectares. It is an excellent habitat for all kinds of fauna and waterfowl, which receives very clean water from the ecological rice paddy. Among its plants, numerous birds of a wide variety of species nest like Purple Swamphen, Penduline Tit and Squacco Heron.

The Riet Vell bird sanctuary is located on the edge of the TV-3405 from Amposta to reach Eucaliptus. You will find the car park approximately 1 km before Eucaliptus. The entrance car park is located right next to the house of SEO Birdlife where you can get a lot of information on bird watching in the delta. The site and the observatory are accessible on foot from the parking lot even when the SEO BirdLife house is closed.
