Descrição
Zalew Szałe is a good place to observe migrating ducks, such as Piadeira, Arrabio and Marrequinha-comum. On the reservoir itself, you can spot many species of gulls, divers, and grebes, such as Mobêlha-árctica, Gaivota-de-patas-amarelas and Gaivota-parda, which breeds here. Rarities such as Pato-de-rabo-alçado, Fuselo and Gaivota-hiperbórea have appeared on the reservoir.
Szałe isn't just a reservoir, it encompasses everything surrounding it. In the surrounding Winiary forest, you can spot interesting species like Pica-pau-preto, Cotovia-pequena and Trepadeira-do-bosque. Andorinha-das-barreiras and gulls nest readily on the slopes near the reservoir, and in the local fields, you can observe Abibe-comum and Torcicolo. I hope I've encouraged you to observe this incredibly important place for the region. See you at Szałe.
