Description
In a traditional countryside of pastures filled with flowers and woodland, around 900 m high, a wide variety of passerines can be seen relatively easily. Red-backed Shrike , Wood Lark , European Stonechat are everywhere, Common Redstart and Linnet are around the villages, and Northern Wheatear on stone walls. Some Whinchat can still be found in marshy grassland, and raptors are frequent ( Red Kite , Montagu's Harrier , Short-toed Snake Eagle)
But the main species here are Great Grey Shrike which tend to be rare nowadays, and Rock Sparrow who are nesting in few numbers.
