Iberian Freshwater Fauna

Shoals of freshwater fish drift and dart across the frame, sharing the pond with amphibians, aquatic invertebrates and other species of the Iberian Peninsula. Aquatic plants and submerged debris form the shifting habitat that sustains this dense community of wildlife.

The El Oso Wetland

The pond lies within the protected wetland complex of El Oso, in the province of Ávila, a renowned nature reserve celebrated for its lagoons and rich birdlife. The surrounding plains of inland Spain make this one of the region's most cherished refuges for biodiversity.
