Habitat
They live in wetlands near the coast with abundant marshy
vegetation, and in rather shallow, salty-water lagoons,
although they can also be seen in semi-salty water
marshlands.
The largest post-breeding flocks live in the lagoon areas of
Fuente de Piedra (Málaga), in Cádiz and Seville, and mainly
in the Marismas del Guadalquivir.
In Doñana and its roundabouts they can be watched during the
breeding period in the marshes of El Rocio, and along the
course of the River Guadiamar.
They are included in the National List of Endangered
Species, and their conservation status is in Danger of
Extinction.
