Description

Parque de Santa Teresa consists of a big park with mediterranean bushes, where several species nest, as well as several exotic tree species. Birds here are shy, however it is very easy to find and or hearsedmihlásek západní, as well as other species like sedmihlásek švitořivý, Iberian Green Woodpecker and sýček obecný. The bushes and trees also hold other species like Žluva hajní, rehek zahradní and lejsek černohlavý during migration, however be careful not to disturb any nests! The closeby fields, though private, may give you ťuhýk rudohlavý, Sova pálená or rarely Dytík úhorní. Occasionally, orlovec říční might fly over due to its proximity to the river and other spots for the species. Flyovers can give you unexpected species, i've had Bald Ibis here. Chameleons, as well as several other reptiles are also present. During nightime, though the park is closed, you can easily hear Red-Necked Nightjar from the streets surrounding it.

Access

You can access the area from anywhere in Jerez. If the park is open, simply park there. If you want to reach the river, it's probably best that you park in some of the streets before you reach it, as you can't acess it with your car. You can also walk to the place (~300m) from the "C/Santa Inés" bus stop.
