Also known as the “island of sandpipers”, the area is home to thousands of wintering waders such as the eurasian curlew, turnstone, and dunlin. Among the most characteristic species are the purple heron, common tern, avocet, black-winged stilt, greylag goose, white stork, and marsh harrier, which inhabit the waters and wet meadows throughout the year.

There is a large resident colony of wood pigeons, as well as nocturnal birds of prey, such as barn owls, little owls, long-eared owls, tawny owls, and eurasian scops owls.
Third Step: Oasi di Canneviè and Porticino
Visitor center with several huts and hides along the trails for year-round birdwatching. It is possible to find spotted redshank, shelducks, snipe, kingfishers, pink flamingos, teals, garganeys, mallards, and marsh harriers. In spring, avocets and black-winged stilts are easily spotted.
