This relatively small lagoon is situated near a touristic area, not far from the airport. There are many men with small boats that offer tours, mostly at high tide, because then one can reach the two lakes at the back of the lagoon, where several Ospreys hunt for fish. It is instructive to see so many limicoles close together: Whimbrel and Curlew, Grey Plover an Godwit, Ruddy Turnstone and Oystercatcher, etc, etc., same applies to the differnt herons and egrets.
