Photographer’s Note

The site also includes a field with wild Camargue horses...detail view in WORKSHOP.

The final part of the Reno River flows through the Provinces of Ferrara and Ravenna, running along the southern part of the Lagoon of Comacchio. Perfect for long walks and bike rides, this beautiful landscape includes the Peninsula of Boscoforte and hosts an extraordinary variety of migrant and breeding birds. Boscoforte is a sand strip a few metres wide, which stretches for about 6 km in the Lagoon of Comacchio. This is one of the most spectacular places in the whole Po Delta.

This beautiful landscape consists of shallow water ponds, sandbars and lagoons with typical brackish water vegetation: Sea lavender, Puccinellia and Marsh Aster. Nesting birds present on the site include Black-winged Stilts, Avocets, Spoonbills, Shelducks, Shovelers, Garganeys, Redshanks, Black-tailed Godwits and Mediterranean Gulls. Wintering birds include Coots, Tufted Ducks, Pochards, Teals, Great Spotted Woodpeckers and Pintails. From the embankment, visitors can observe flamingos resting in the lagoon of Comacchio.
