Back in May this year I visited the Saline of Secovlje in Slovenia near the croatian border. It is an old Soline that was used by the people living there in the 12th century. Today it is still in use but only to show how traditional salt mining in solines is working. The salt from the soline contributed to the wealth of the city Piran. From Piran the salt was shipped or transported to destinations in whole europe.
The old solines are a perfect spot for birds that use these small pathways fro breeding and enjoy the salty water there. Black winged stilts, a lot of gulls and the little egret the grey heron and the great egret live and breed there. I remember that it started to rain very strong but very short (several minutes) when I was there. I headed back to the car and went back in after the rain shower.
