Discover the Birds of the Ebro Delta: A Biodiversity Sanctuary in Tarragona

Featured Species Greater Flamingo (Phoenicopterus roseus). With its pink plumage and elegant bearing, the Greater Flamingo is one of the most emblematic species of the Ebro Delta. Large flocks of these majestic birds can be seen in the lagoons and marshes of the delta, especially in the Laguna de la Tancada and Punta de la Banya.



Grey Heron (Ardea cinerea) The grey heron, with its grey plumage and long neck, is another of the easiest birds to spot in the Ebro Delta. These birds are usually found on the banks of rivers and lakes, hunting fish and other small aquatic animals.

Little Bittern (Ixobrychus minutus) . This small and elusive member of the heron family is a real challenge for birdwatchers. The Little Bittern hides in the dense vegetation of marshes, but with patience and luck, it can be spotted during the early morning hours or at dusk.

Common Tern (Sterna hirundo) . Common Terns, with their shrill calls and acrobatic flight, are a constant presence in the delta. They can easily be observed hunting for fish in the lagoons and along the coast.



Little Owl (Athene noctua) . For those who enjoy nocturnal bird watching, the Little Owl is a fascinating species. With its compact size and distinctive yellow eyes, it can be found in open areas and cultivated fields at twilight.
