Cona Island Wetland

The Isonzo's mouth is the northernmost wetland of the Mediterranean basin. Therefore it is a crossroad for birds. It's a place where it is amazing to have a walk in every season going through the freshwater marsh to the sea, passing across the brackish water. Each month reveals a different species composition. At the end of summertime you can meet several just fledged individuals sometimes together with their parents. Moreover there are many migrating birds among which good numbers of shorebirds. Geese often send their calls breaking the silence beating the time of the pond. Here following some pictures taken in that amazing and quiet wetland.
