Descripción
The Medbach gravel pit is an active extraction site that, despite its industrial use, offers some opportunities for bird observation. The area consists of open water surfaces, gravel banks, and developing reed beds, which attract a range of water-associated bird species throughout the year. Its character changes with the progress of excavation, affecting water levels and shoreline structure.
Birdwatchers can observe species such as Ánade azulón, Porrón Moñudo, Focha Común, and Somormujo Lavanco. Gaviota Reidora and Garza Real are also regularly present. During migration seasons, the site becomes more dynamic, with increased bird activity as species stop over briefly.
While not a key birding destination, the Medbach gravel pit occasionally offers sightings of less common species. These include Chorlitejo Chico, Archibebe Claro, Charrán Común, Fumarel Cariblanco, Correlimos Menudo, Pagaza Piquirroja, and Zampullín Cuellinegro. In some years, raptors such as Águila Pescadora or Aguilucho Lagunero Occidental have been recorded during migration. Even Pigargo Europeo were seen. The presence of such species is irregular and often tied to temporary habitat conditions like exposed mudflats or quiet shoreline areas.
