Description
The Longarini lagoon is a wetland area of about 200 hectares located in the territory of Ispica, a few hundred meters from the coast. It is the largest of a complex of marshes that extend between Ispica and Pachino. The lagoon attracts a wide array of species throughout the year. In winter one can see plamenec, several species of ducks, liska, priba, different species of herons, rjavi lunj, vodomec, plašica and more. During migration, the area attracts several typical wetland species, including waders such as zelenonogi martinec and polojnik, as well as migratory ducks like reglja and kostanjevka. The site is one of the last places where marmorna raca breeds in Italy. Re-introduced afriška sultanka can also be seen.
