Description

The Villalba de los Barros reservoir is located between large plains of undulating and deforested land where pastures grow that are used by the sheep farms present in the area. The reservoir is considered as an important place for birds that seek refuge on the islands of the reservoir, taking advantage of their tranquility and the defense they offer against predators. Good chances to see kukačka chocholatá, ouhorlík stepní and rybák černozobý. Among the other birds you can encounter are straka iberská, volavka stříbřitá, kalandra zpěvná, Chocholouš obecný, vlha pestrá, dudek chocholatý, luňák hnědý, moták pochop, rybák malý and pisila čáponohá.
