Riserva Naturale Orientata Oasi faunistica di Vendicari

The great ecological "success" of Vendicari is given to its manifold habitat, which can be divided into different biotopes: rocky coast, sandy coast, Mediterranean maquis, marshes (brackish and freshwater), salt pans, garigue, and cultivated areas.

Fauna

The local fauna is very rich in birds and varies according to the seasons and the physiology of the animals: in summer, the marshes are not very deep because of evaporation, and do not offer the same opportunities they offer in spring. For this reason, in June-July only a few summer migratory birds remain.
