Flying over the majestic Ebro Delta and Punta de la Banya, the view from the heights is spectacular, seeing how it is after the storms, as seen in the Photos of the Readers of La Vanguardia.
The Ebro Delta is the kingdom of birds in Catalonia, as 95 species nest here, but many others winter, rest and feed during migrations. If we have ever wondered what Punta de la Banya looks like from a bird's eye view, the photographs clear up our doubts.
Altogether, this area is home to 316 species of common birds and about 360 of the 600 recorded birds in Europe. Among the most attractive of the Ebro Delta wetland are the flamingos, common in the rice fields, a very common crop in this area, as can be seen in the photographs.
The colony of 4,000 flamingo pairs can raise more than 3,000 chicks. In this area of Catalonia, a rarity has even been detected, the lesser flamingo (Phoenicopterus minor).
For its part, Punta de la Banya, located in Sant Carles de la Ràpita, houses a very interesting environment and fauna and flora.
The bay of Els Alfacs is the habitat of a large number of water birds. In addition, El Trabucador is a perfect observation point for these birds.
