Descripción
Saltern Wetlands gets many more birds than it did before high tide bank was breached. You can observe flocks of Avefría Europea, Zarapito Real, Cerceta Común, Silbón Europeo, Archibebe Común, Aguja Colinegra and Avoceta Común. Winter guests include Archibebe Oscuro. Other birds that can be seen are Tarro Blanco, Cuchara Común, Chorlitejo Grande and Ostrero Euroasiático. Halcón Peregrino, Aguilucho Lagunero Occidental and Busardo ratonero hunt over the area at times. Two small freshwater ponds were created at the same time, between the railway line and the inland end of the tidal area, and have had Zampullín Cuellinegro and Chorlitejo Chico on them.
