Swans in the reserve
During the 2018-2019 season only a few coscorobas have been recorded so far, whereas some twenty black-necked swans can be counted in the ponds. Nevertheless, no cases of breeding have been reported.
Rarely seen in the reserve. Named after the number eighty on the ventral wings. The dorsal side, instead, is completely different. Blackish with blue at the base of both wings and a subterminal green strip on the posterior wing
