    Who said that the flamingos are located only in Camargue? These friendly wading birds have been stopping in the venetian lagoon and they create picturesque atmospheres in the lagoon. Flamingos are nothing new in these places: for over a decade, in fact, these birds have been settling in this area. Today there are more than 8,000 flamingos that winter in the lagoon, many of which decide to stop for the whole year. Flamingo are quite confident and frequent “valli da pesca” (a sort of fish farms in the lagoon) and shallows, where they find shallow and muddy waters that they can filter with their particular beak.

  • Lio Piccolo, Cavallino-Treporti, Italy
    Not only flamingo but a huge number of birds are likely to be seen in the lagoon: In total, around 300 species of birds live in the lagoon. An incredible diversity featuring birds connected to the tides, to the marshy land and to the sea. Ducks (mallards, teals, pintails, wigeons, shovelers), herons, seagulls, waders, shorebirds, even 4,000 flamingoes that would once migrate from Tunisia to France and then to Sardinia, now stably reside in the lagoon and its surrounding area. Or cormorants, reaching Venice from Poland, Sweden or Denmark.

Pedalare in questo angolo di laguna è stata una esperienza coinvolgkente. Abbiamo avuto fortuna perché c'erano davvero molto uccelli e mi è sembrato uno Zoo Safari in bicicletta!

Prima Tour! Wir waren zu dritt mit dem sehr netten Guide. Haben viele Vögel gesehen obwohl nicht die beste Jahreszeit. Wir hatten allerdings auch ein Fernglas dabei. (Stelzenläufer, Grünschenkel, Rotschenkel, Brachvögel, Kiebitzregenpfeifer, Ibis, Flamingo, Rallenreiher, Seidenreiher, Flussseeschwalbe, Neuntöter, Säbelschnäbler, Graureiher). Außerdem schöne Salzwiesen mit Strandflieder/Meerlavendel. Es lohnt sich wirklich diesen Teil der Lagune zu besuchen. Sehr empfehlenswert!

Echt cool: Vor den Toren Venedigs ein Schmuckstück Natur, besonders für Vogelliebhaber: Seidenreiher, Flamingos, Stelzenläufer, Stockenten und Kormorane sowieso, ... So nah kommt man den Salzwiesen nirgends, auf dem winzigen Pfad quasi durch die Lagune. Und dann mitten drin ein unglaublich idyllisches Gartenlokal mit Spaghetti allo Scoglio zum Niederknien!
