Subjects : The peculiarity of the PN Circeo is the variety of environments that make it up. First of the coastal lakes of Fogliano, Monaci, Caprolace and Sabaudia, represent a wetland of international importance under the Ramsar Convention. The pace of winter ducks is conspicuous, as well as the spring of Charadriiformes, small wading birds and more. Then there is the forest of the park, the GPS coordinates that I put relate to the visitor center of Cerasella departure for excursions. This forest, is what remains of the Selva di Terracina existed before the reclamation of the Pontine marshes, there are still areas that flood regularly in the woods, very suggestive to photograph. Then there is the promontory of Circeo, where you can get in the car and do some walking involved, offering glimpses of the very interesting landscape. Finally there are about 20km of coastline protected by the highest dunes in the spring are full of blooms. Therefore, in my opinion, it is a place where the wildlife photographer has only spoiled for choice where to start. As for the birds is quite difficult to photograph well, the best point are Pantani Hell, after Lake Caprolace, where the car can take a good shot. Lake Fogliano there are a couple of shacks, but designed more for birdwatchers that for photographers, the distances are always notevoli.Per As mentioned earlier, there are many points for the landscape, especially the beach at sunset and flowers on the dune.

Recommended equipment : Given the variety of the environments of the Park, it would require a complete outfit. Wide-angle lenses and filters to the landscapes, over the inevitable stand, for the blooms and macro lenses for birds.

Best months : Winter is the season for birds and landscapes coastal deserts (in bad weather you can have gorgeous views), say the months of November / January. Spring for all the blooms and the pitch of the birds, knights of Italy, fighters and so on.

How to get there : The PN Circeo is about 60km from Rome. It goes down south with Pontina and Latin America take to the sea. From there you can follow along the coast to Sabaudia. For the forest of the park I put the GPS coordinates that indicate the place where you can leave your car and take trips on foot.

Visits : The PN Circeo has limited areas, with the exception of some of the pools in the forest, subject to rules of strict nature reserve. The rest of the rooms you can visit all the time you want. The center of Cerasella is available the whole day up to the 19. Then there is the park visitor center in Sabaudia where there is also the headquarters with a small museum and where you can arrange guided tours in the environments of the park with the guides.
