La zona no está cerrada, es una zona donde mucha venga va a bañarse y ha pescar, pero desde la orilla donde se bañan hasta el nido hay más de 300m.
Pues yo soy una de las personas que va con una niña y un perro incluso. Estando allí nosotros y dos personas pescando dentro del agua uno de los adultos llegó al nido y luego se posó cerca del nido
No hay ninguna limitación, y es un sitio donde incluso se hace el centro de interpretación del parque hace avistamiento de aves
A ver esto no es el río tajo. Pero en el río también hay muchos nidos y se hacen paseos en barco que incluso pasan más cerca de ese nido
En todos los sitios donde hay ciertos aves se hacen avistamientos de aves
Las cigüeñas no creo que recojan alimento en esas aguas, hay muchas pequeñas charcas que imagino es de donde más alimento sacan
Esta pareja lleva muchos años criando en ese nido. Incluso algún año han sacado 4 pollos. Y siempre ha sido un sitio muy transitado

The area is not closed, it is an area where many people come to swim and fish, but from the shore where they swim to the nest it is more than 300m.
I am one of the people who goes there with a child and even a dog. While we were there and two people were fishing in the water, one of the adults came to the nest and then landed near the nest.
There is no limitation, and it is a place where even the visitor centre of the park does birdwatching.
Let's see, this is not the Tagus river. But in the river there are also many nests and there are boat trips that even pass closer to the nest.
In all the places where there are certain birds there are birdwatching activities.
I don't think the storks collect food in these waters, there are many small ponds which I imagine is where they get most of their food.
This pair has been breeding in this nest for many years. Some years they have even raised 4 chicks. And it has always been a very busy place.

I observe them with binoculars with the naked eye unless you know where the nest is you wouldn't even see it.

btw. there was a long debate on the chat about our relationship with nature (and the protection of this nest)
