Introdu uction The Corruubedo Sand-Dunes and d Carregal and Vixán lagoons Natural N Parkk was given n protectedd status on 5th June 19992. This nattural park i s located in n the Barbanza Peninsuula and belongs to thee municipaliity of Ribeira (A Coruña provincee, Galicia. Spain). S It iss one of thee most remaarkable andd interesting sites in Galician naturre. A nature reserve is an a area of a territory, nnot very tran nsformed orr spoilt by hhuman activvities and haabitation, annd due to th he beauty of its landsc ape, the uniqueness off its ecosysteems, fauna, flora and geology, g hass ecologicall, aesthetic, educationaal and scienttific values,, its protectiion deservess special ateention. In thhat way thaat was writteen down inn the Law 9//2001 (21thh August 20001), related to nature preservationn in Galicia. 1 1

Physicaal envirronmen nt The coast along the Corrubedo C bay is low w, with widee areas of sandy beacches. The wind-related w d movemnt oof this sanddy deposits make posssible the development of seashoree belts of dunes, d oftenn more or leess colonizeed by halop phitic vegetaation. The wind-relate w d movemennt of seasho ore belts off dunes, ofteen more or less l colonized by halopphitic vegetaation. This strongg wind activvity formed a mobile du dune, the big ggest in Norrthwestern IIberia, moree than 1 km m long and between 2000-300 m wid de, with 12--15 m at its highest Norrtheast. The dunar belt damm med up the waters, w so w we have Caarregal lagoon, that is fflooted and d drained inn relation to tidal movem ments, so we w have a maarsh here. Vixán lagooon, more properly a laake, was creeated by a siimilar proceess. Nowadaays is connected to thee sea only inn equinoctiaal periods. The T freshwaater charactter of this laake gives itt a differentt ecologicall background comparedd with the brrackish Carrregal marsh h.

Flora We can find in the natural park a wide representation of the botanic communities belongning to the marshes, lagoons and beaches in the galician shore. Here we have a noteworthy place to watch this unique and interesting flora. Its variaety is the characteristic that makes this place different. In the dunes, sandy grasslands and in the nearby wtlands we can find 237 plant species (23 of them legally protected, because of their status of rarities or endemics). We also can find pinewoods, mixed with common oak, alder, willos and cultures, due to the human activities in the area.

Fauna The complex and diverse habitats of the nature reserve make possible the ocurrence of a great number of animal species. In 14 amphibian species recorded in Galicia, 10 are known to be resident in the natural park. We can find 14 different reptile species, in 20 recorded in the whole of Galicia, and also a huge representation of mammals and marine and coastal species. Its ornithological value is plain to see because this nature reserve was included in the International Important Wetlands Convention (Ramsar, 2th February 1971). We can distinguish three areas for birds:  Carregal marshes: they gather a great number of gulls and plovers.  Vixán lake: with a surrounding reed belt has the main species of ducks and rallidae.  The sea: we can find there divers, scoters and shags. As breeding species we can find the mallard (Anas platyrhynchos), little grebe (Tachybaptus ruficollis), coot (Fulica atra) and the kentish plover (Charadrius alexandrinus). The latest show an important number of breeding pairs in the entire Galician population.

Historical and archaeological heritage The park and its surroundings show different samples of archaeological and ethnographic heritage.  Pipín burial mound. It's a burial chamber ("mámoa" in Galician language), normally circular in shape, formed by several large stones belonging to the Neolithic culture characteristic northwest of the Iberian Peninsula. It is more than 5,000 years old. Another megalithic monument from this period and near Corrubedo is the Axeitos dolmen.  Castro of Baixo Porto. A Celtic “castro” is a fortified pre-Roman town usually, although there are examples below that lasted until the Middle Ages, present especially in the northwest and in parts of the plateau of the Iberian Peninsula. Its are small fortified settlements formed by circular buildings and located predominantly on the coast and in strategic places on inland. Castros and mámoas are two of the most notable of which is now known as the ancient Celtic culture, which extends around Ireland, southern England and the west coast of France. The Porto de Baixo castro is 3000 years old and it is situated near the sea.  Amendo mills. Despite the small gap that must navigate the rivers of the park, in the area there were several water mills, of which these two are preserved and arranged today.  The area has many other signs of this rich etnographic heritage such as tile furnaces, granaries named “hórreos” in Galician language (high rectangular building on a stone base to store grain or agricultural products), stone fences, stone circular dovecotes...  In this guide scientific species names are in italics, in English they are in black, red in Spanish and green in Galician.

Flora of Vixán lagoon and surrounding area The Amendo River flows into the Vixán lake. This lake and its biodiversity the main object of study of this work. The biodiversity of the area presented in three tables: one on the flora, another on birds and one on the other vertebrates including some relevant species of invertebrates. The lagoon and marshes species The lagoon, with fresh water preferably, many common reeds (Phragmites australis) accompanied by Branched bur-reed (Sparganium erectum), lake sedge (Scirpus lacustris), sea rush (Scirpus maritimus), common plantain (Plantago major), wolf mint (Lycopus europaeus) and Oenanthe fistulosa. The long-bracted sedge (Carex extensa) dominates the nearest ocean margin. Lotus maritimus, petticoat daffodil (Narcissus bulbocodium), purple moor grass (Molinia caerulea), changing forget-me-not (Miosotis discolor), Panicum repens, Paspalum vaginatum, Ranunculus bulbosus, creeping buttercup (Ranunculus repens) and greater creeping spearwort (Ranunculus flammula) appears in wet meadow, the latter two poisonous to livestock. As aquatic plants include algae Chara vulgaris, Nitella tenuissima, Najas marina, Najas marina and Ruppia maritima, the latter in the muddy bottoms. Among the aquatic plants there are floating pondweed (Potamogeton natans and Potamogeton pectinatus) and pond water crowfoot (Ranunculus omiophyllus and R. peltatus). Besides these, in pools of sweet and calm water there are: pond waterstarwort (Callitriche stagnalis) and carnivorous common bladderwort (Utricularia vulgaris) (this remains under water except his yellow flowers). In areas of more freshwater lagoon Carregal, are frequent common duckweed (Lemna minor) tapestries forming on the surface of the water appears. The tree and shrub vegetation The tree vegetation surrounding this space is represented by maritime pine (Pinus pinaster) and Monterey pine (Pinus radiata) with poor understory largely of western brackenfern (Pteridium aquilinum). There are also sweet bay (Laurus nobilis) and shrub vegetation composed of heather (Erica spp., and Calluna vulgaris), broom (Cytisus spp.), common gorse (Ulex europaeus), besides blackberry (Rubus fruticosus) spurge flax (Daphne gnidium), butcher’s broom (Ruscus aculeatus), etc., as well as other typical ruderal species like nettles (Urtica spp.) and stramonium (Datura stramonium). In the past, tamarind (Tamarix gallica) there been planted in the border of Carregal lake, an area in which there are alder (Alnus glutinosa), ash gray willow (Salix atrocinerea) and white willow (Salix salvifolia).

Pelagic and forest birds related Vixán lagoon Pelagic birds pelagic birds at sea near the Vixán lagoon In this area we can see pelagic birds as Manx shearwater (Puffinus puffinus), Atlantic puffin (Fratercula arctica), razorbill (Alca torda), common murre or common guillemot (Uria aalge), common scoter (Melanitta nigra), velvet scoter (Melanitta fusca), common goldeneye (Bucephala clangula), common eider (Somateria mollissima) and long-tailed duck or oldsquaw (Clangula hyemalis).

Birds of the forest near the Vixán lagoon In the wooded area that contacts the Vixán lagoon the following birds of prey can be observed: common buzzard (Buteo buteo), common kestrel (Falco tinnunculus), hen harrier (Circus cyaneus), Montagu's harrier (Circus pygargus), western marsh harrier (Circus aeruginosus), although the last three are very few. Besides, we can add two more birds of prey but in this case of nocturnal habits: little owl (Athene noctua) and barn owl (Tyto alba).

Finally, in this area may be more common birds that live in both forested areas and habitats with human presence. Among the most common are: common kingfisher (Alcedo atthis), Eurasian skylark (Alauda arvensis), woodlark or wood lark (Lullula arborea), common reed bunting (Emberiza schoeniclus) and common linnet (Carduelis cannabina), great spotted woodpecker (Dendrocopos major), European robin (Erithacus rubecula) and Eurasian wren (Troglodytes troglodytes).
