The Ministry of Agriculture and Water held tomorrow a day of bird banding in the Regional Park of Salinas y Arenales de San Pedro del Pinatar, where they nested last year for the first time the slender-billed gull (Larus genei), a species considered 'vulnerable 'because of its small population.
This year the number of breeding pairs has gone from 18 to 40, so the Ministry has established measures for their protection and conservation.
The slender-billed gull is distributed throughout the Mediterranean littoral, Middle East.
Migrated from various parts of Europe through the Iberian Peninsula in spring and autumn.
Chosen primarily to raise saline environments.
Said Park is the only point of the region which has taken hold.
The Day will begin at 9:00 pm in the Visitor Center with the participation of the general director of the Natural Heritage and Biodiversity, Pablo Fernández.
At 10:00 am will begin in the salt ponds and motes the work of banding, blood sampling and biometric measurements.
In addition to the slender-billed gull, banded species such as the sandwich tern, common tern and piconegra Pagaza.
In developing this Day Salinera collaborate Spanish SL company, the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, University of Murcia, the Association of Naturalists in the Southeast and the Biological Station of Doñana.
