This live camera looks out over a lagoon inside the Riet Vell reserve in Amposta, at the southern edge of the Ebro Delta in Catalonia. It is a place to check on wetland conditions and the birdlife that depends on them, without leaving your screen.
About the Ebro Delta
Amposta sits on the Ebro, the largest river in Spain, where it spreads into a flat delta of rice fields, salt pans, dunes and shallow lagoons. The land is barely above sea level, so water and wind shape the scenery. The Riet Vell area is one of the protected wetlands here, known for reedbeds and for its importance to waterbirds that move between the Mediterranean and inland Europe.
What you can watch
The stream shows open water and the vegetation along its edge, so the view changes with the water level, wind and light. Early morning and late afternoon tend to be the most rewarding, when birds are more active and the light is low over the lagoon. Depending on the season you may see herons, ducks or waders, though nothing is guaranteed at any given moment. Check the weather block on this page if the sky looks grey or stormy.
Visiting and nearby views
Spring and autumn are generally the most comfortable seasons for walking the delta, while summers are hot and winters can be windy and damp. Reaching the reserve usually means a car, as public transport in the delta is limited. Nearby on VizCams you can open a second lagoon view in the same reserve, an owl nest box camera, and cameras on the coast at L'Ametlla de Mar.
