Subjects : are various environments that characterize this park and each room offers its own subjects. From the point of view of landscape and environment are present: a sea beautiful Ligurian'' typical'' with villages and pebble beaches accessible by trails through a lush and wild Mediterranean scrub, for those interested, you can take pictures with wonderful sunrises with the background of the Apuan Alps or sunsets on the Gulf of Poets (Portovenere!!). From the point of view of game that I find is the most interesting, especially for the large number of birds, you can capture: the reed warbler, the great reed warbler, nightingale of the river, the blackcap, the goldfinch, the warbler, red and green peaks , egrets, herons all, night heron, the knight of Italy, the oystercatcher, snipe, courier, plovers and gossipy, and then grebes, mergansers, mallards, grebes, as well as cormorants, shags , various gulls, and terns and gannets too, missed the beautiful kingfishers and bee-eaters, and then also piùschivi raptors such as buzzards, kestrels and sparrowhawks, VI ENOUGH? but there is much more! Type minor fauna wild boars, foxes, badgers, etc..

Recommended equipment : with trekking equipment and sometimes even with rubber boots can appostarvi with a hut and wait for moving the shed, it is useful because it is a'' human'' area frequented by both locals as well as from pleasure boats, disliked by us photographers , freshwater fishing, birds are unfortunately a little shy. The objectives are the best tele'' long-range'' type 400/500mm, but for those who want great is the offering of MACRO and LANDSCAPE and also outdoor SPORT

Best months : the more opportunities you have for migration in spring and autumn and summer, but in winter they make great shots with the resident and not a few

How to get there : the territory of the park is very large and elongated because its borders stretching first along the banks of the river Magra and Vara of those long, but along the A12 Genoa-Livorno you can exit at Sarzana because it is centrally placed with respect to it and is also the seat of its Administrative Offices, from there towards the sea along the Viale XXV Aprile leading to Fiumaretta, at the mouth of the Magra, you can take one of the many dirt roads that lead to the right on the banks of the river Magra, this is also the area that I tap more, but other interesting sites are also present in the immediate vicinity of Sarzana and also in the opposite direction to S. Stefano Magra, they are mostly artificial lakes created for the excavation of clay or gravel but now abandoned and naturalized to 100%. Crossing the bridge over the river towards La Spezia you can also access the Oasis Lipu Arcola (interessante!!) Also along the Via XXV Aprile can meet different channels and waterways minor where you can see all of the car already .

Visits : park admission is absolutely free forever, in some parts you can not get with the car but only on foot, but this is a good thing!

Notes : very well done site for those who want to deepen my description is related to my passion for birds but the park has much more even from the photographic point of view, there is also a botanical garden, and also all the surrounding areas are full of ideas, and finally the ability to take pictures doing activities such as hiking, horseback riding along the river, snorkeling, rafting, kayaking and surfing
