The Fauna Reserve is the artificial union of the Small and Large lagoons, creating a huge swamp surface of permanent, deep waters with abundant aquatic and steppe birds prowling over the reed beds on the banks. In the lagoons it is easy to see red duck, mallard, crested pochard, common pochard, little grebe, common coot, great crested grebe and marsh harrier.
