Tips
Also on this section you can see huge flocks of geese and a group of spoonbills, as well as other species of birds. As the path passes close to nature, you get close to the animals without disturbing them.

There is a lot to discover on this section. We were very lucky and saw a marsh harrier, oystercatchers, many geese, a meadow yellow wagtail, ducks and a male ruff. Of course there were also numerous gulls and tawny terns.
