Between the bay of Sampieri and Maganuco there is the sandy bay of Marina di Modica and we just paddled into the mouth of the small river that bring sand to the sea. It was pretty short but nice and peaceful, with some ducks swimming around.
Back into the Sampieri bay we decided to enter the mouth of the river called Torrente Petraro. This is a bit longer (at least the sailing potrion) and it was really interesting to observe some birds like a Little egrett, some Sandpipers and an interesting nest with bird and 5 eggs of Purple swamphen.
We spotted a small snake too that quickly disappeared into the shallow water.
Back at the base, a beer and some food was a good finish.
In Italiano:
Little egrett = Garzetta
Sandpipers = Piro piro
Purple swamphen = Pollo sultano
