Flamingos in flight over the Lagoon\u00a0<\/em>\u00a9FB: MSNve<\/h5>\n

Who said that the flamingos are located only in Camargue or on the Po Delta? These friendly wading birds have been stopping off for a few days off the coast of Burano and they create\u00a0picturesque atmospheres in the lagoon.<\/p>\n

Flamingos are nothing new in these places: for over a decade, in fact, these birds have been settling\u00a0in 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.<\/p>\n

What is really extraordinary is the fact that they have stopped off Burano and Torcello, and not in more hidden areas and islets. The flamingos are quite confident, they frequent “valli da pesca” (a sort of fish farms in the lagoon)\u00a0and shallows, where they find shallow and muddy waters that they can filter with their particular beak. In total, around 300 species of birds live in the lagoon.<\/p>\n

In recent years not only the flamingos, but other species of birds once rare have begun to nest in these places, surely a positive sign for the ecosystem.
\nAmong the “new entries”: peregrine falcon,\u00a0European roller,\u00a0great spotted cuckoo, black swan,\u00a0ruddy shelduck,\u00a0ferruginous duck,\u00a0cattle egret,\u00a0Eurasian woodcock,\u00a0Eurasian curlew,\u00a0crag martin,\u00a0sedge warbler,\u00a0carrion crow,\u00a0etc., for a total amount of over 450 thousand waterfowl throughout the lagoon.<\/p>\n
