Descrizione
Saltern Wetlands gets many more birds than it did before high tide bank was breached. You can observe flocks of Pavoncella, Chiurlo maggiore, Alzavola, Fischione, Pettegola, Pittima reale and Avocetta. Winter guests include Totano moro. Other birds that can be seen are Volpoca, Mestolone, Corriere grosso and Beccaccia di mare. Falco pellegrino, Falco di palude and Poiana 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 Svasso piccolo and Corriere piccolo on them.
