it is possible to observe other nesting species, in particular the rare redshank, the herring gull, the shearwater, tern and mallard. Also interesting are the migration periods, during which meetings with the numerous migrating species can be pleasurable and unexpected. It would be appropriate to stop only briefly to observe the birds, so as not to disturb their delicate nesting period.
