Description
On the the Solana Nin saltworks, you will find a small ornithological reserve. On these diverse fields around Solana Nin more than 280 species of birds have been spotted. Many migratory birds take a break here along the salt pans on their long-haul flights to their wintering grounds in Africa and further in the Mediterranean. But the salt pans also hold a good number of breeding birds like Black-winged Stilt, Kentish Plover and Little Egret. Other birds that can be observed are Little Tern, Eurasian Oystercatcher, Stone-curlew, Grey Plover, Common Redshank, Common Greenshank, Eurasian Curlew, Black-tailed Godwit, Curlew Sandpiper, Little Stint, Dunlin, Common Shelduck, Spotted Redshank, Little Ringed Plover, Common Ringed Plover and Avocet.
