Description

Parque Nacional de Monfragüe in Extremadura is one of the nicest birding areas in Europe. Here you can see the largest colonies of Vautour fauve, Black Vulture, Cigogne noire, Aigle ibérique, Aigle de Bonelli, Faucon pèlerin, Vautour percnoptère and Grand-duc d'Europe. And checking out smaller birds can reveal Monticole bleu, Pouillot ibérique, Pic épeichette, etc.

There are rocky areas, mediterranean forest and dehesa, which is an excellent zone for red deer during the rutting season and where there is Cigogne blanche and Héron cendré. The irrigated agriculture is of interest in autumn and winter for the presence of Grue cendrée and in some years Pinson du Nord. The best time for seeing the greatest varieaty is spring although in autumn and winter, non-breeding species such as Grand Cormoran, Grue cendrée, Accenteur mouchet and Bouvreuil pivoine can be present. In July and August is advisable to take advantage of the first and final hours of the day, since the middle part will be very hot.
