Descrizione
After you have walked from the car park and over the Lock Gates, you are now overlooking the estuary. It's always a good idea to time your arrival as the raised tide is on its way out (see a link to the tide table below. Scanning the water for Smergo minore, Oca colombaccio, Fischione and gull species.
Even at high tide you will see waders moving up and down the estuary such as Beccaccia di mare, Pettegola, Chiurlo maggiore, Pavoncella, Piovanello pancianera, Piviere dorato and Pittima reale.
While watching the estuary, the other side of the sea wall offers a fresh water lake plus all the species that may be seen in that habitat. It is a large shallow expense, with the banks lined with reeds. Birds here can include, Germano reale, Alzavola, Canapiglia and Mestolone. The reed beds around the fresh water lake are good places to see Cannaiola, Forapaglie comune, Basettino, Usignolo di fiume and Migliarino di palude. Regular sightings of Airone bianco maggiore, Airone cenerino and the odd Tarabuso can over winter.
You can follow the raised walkway around the lake while still being able to view the estuary. Once the tide goes out, good numbers of waders can be seen all over the mudflats. Volpoca, Pivieressa, Avocetta, Garzetta and Voltapietre. During spring migration waders such as Chiurlo piccolo and Totano moro can be observed.
