This morning in Sant Pere de Casserres, in the meander of the Ter, you could see how the entire tail of the Sau reservoir looks like a field, a green meadow, in which you can even see the pheasant roaming around this part of the reservoir.
The lack of water at the tail of the Sau reservoir has meant that the fauna and flora have taken over the place. The green of the vegetation is intense, as seen in these images in La Vanguardia’s Readers’ Photos.
The common or common pheasant (Phasianus colchicus) is a species of galliform bird that, in its natural environment, lives in open grasslands and forests.
The meander is a curve described by the course of a river, whose sinuosity is pronounced, as can be seen in the images. They form more easily in rivers on alluvial plains with very low slopes.
Next to the Sau reservoir we find the Ter meander viewpoint, from which you can see Sant Pere de Casserres, an 11th century Romanesque monastery of the Benedictine order and which has an origin closely linked to women.
It is known that in the year 1006, Viscountess Ermetruit de Osona-Cardona, together with her daughter-in-law Engúncia, raised money for the foundation of the monastery that they wanted to convert into the family monastery.
