Back to top3.1 Habitat types present on the site and assessment for them
No habitat types are reported for the site
3.2 Species referred to in Article 4 of Directive 2009/147/EC and listed in Annex II of Directive 92/43/EEC and site evaluation for them
- Group: A = Amphibians, B = Birds, F = Fish, I = Invertebrates, M = Mammals, P = Plants, R = Reptiles
- S: in case that the data on species are sensitive and therefore have to be blocked for any public access enter: yes
- NP: in case that a species is no longer present in the site enter: x (optional)
- Type: p = permanent, r = reproducing, c = concentration, w = wintering (for plant and non-migratory species use permanent)
- Unit: i = individuals, p = pairs or other units according to the Standard list of population units and codes in accordance with Article 12 and 17 reporting (see reference portal)
- Abundance categories (Cat.): C = common, R = rare, V = very rare, P = present - to fill if data are deficient (DD) or in addition to population size information
- Data quality: G = 'Good' (e.g. based on surveys); M = 'Moderate' (e.g. based on partial data with some extrapolation); P = 'Poor' (e.g. rough estimation); VP = 'Very poor' (use this category only, if not even a rough estimation of the population size can be made, in this case the fields for population size can remain empty, but the field "Abundance categories" has to be filled in)
3.3 Other important species of flora and fauna (optional)
- Group: A = Amphibians, B = Birds, F = Fish, Fu = Fungi, I = Invertebrates, L = Lichens, M = Mammals, P = Plants, R = Reptiles
- CODE: for Birds, Annex IV and V species the code as provided in the reference portal should be used in addition to the scientific name
- S: in case that the data on species are sensitive and therefore have to be blocked for any public access enter: yes
- NP: in case that a species is no longer present in the site enter: x (optional)
- Unit: i = individuals, p = pairs or other units according to the standard list of population units and codes in accordance with Article 12 and 17 reporting, (see reference portal)
- Cat.: Abundance categories: C = common, R = rare, V = very rare, P = present
- Motivation categories: IV, V: Annex Species (Habitats Directive), A: National Red List data; B: Endemics; C: International Conventions; D: other reasons

Other Site Characteristics
| Zona húmida dependente das águas dos rios Tejo e Almonda e com uma vasta malha de valas. Apresenta uma acentuada variação do nível da água entre a estação seca e chuvosa. A área interior, alagada a maior parte do ano, contém galerias de freixo e salgueiro e também zonas de bunho nos locais de maior encharcamento. A área envolvente é constituída por terrenos de charneca e planícies de aluviões. |
4.2 Quality and importance
| Desde longa data um importante depósito de partículas de aluvião da bacia do Tejo, representando uma importante riqueza na região, nomeadamente pela prática de actividades agrícolas. Os seus valores mais relevantes relacionam-se com as zonas alagadas e a extensão de manchas de salgueiros e freixos, que albergam uma das mais importantes colónias de garças e colhereiros. O Paul do Boquilobo destaca-se como local importante durante a migração outonal de passeriformes e como local de reprodução de espécies que se encontram ameaçadas em Portugal, como o papa-ratos (Ardeola ralloides) e a garça-pequena (Ixobrychus minutus). A nível nacional é ainda de salientar a nidificação irregular de gaivina-de-faces-brancas (Chlidonias hybridus), a presença de um núcleo reprodutor de Galeirão-comum (Fulica atra) e uma importante concentração de espécies invernantes, especialmente anatídeos. |
