Beschreibung
For a modest entrance fee, Palheiro Gardens provide convenient opportunities to see several Madeiran landbirds including Silberhalstaube (we saw at least 8), Madeiragoldhähnchen, Buchfink-maderensis, Einfarbsegler as well as more widespread species such as Mönchsgrasmücke and Turmfalke. The gardens are not as expansive as those at Monte but this is a particularly accessible site for Silberhalstaube, making for relaxed birding with plenty for non-birding family and friends to enjoy. Cardinal and other butterflies are plentiful while there are Perez Frogs in the ornamental ponds. There's a tea-shop and WCs.
