Descripción
The history of the Alter Flugplatz and its unique habitat make it an interesting place to go birding. The look and feel of the place is quite unusual: a long, open expanse of dry heath and sand grassland with an urban backdrop. The most obvious birds here are members of the Corvid family: the otherwise dominant Corneja Negra is trumped here by good numbers of Graja, Grajilla Occidental and Urraca común. There is usually a hovering Cernícalo vulgar or soaring Busardo ratonero to be found, too.
In spring and early summer the scattered bushes and trees of the site are a good place to hear and see Colirrojo Real, Curruca Zarcera, Curruca Zarcerilla and Mosquitero Musical. With a bit of luck, Alcaudón Dorsirrojo can also be seen. During spring migration, the site is well worth a visit. it is possible to see groups of Lavandera Boyera (especially in the northern part), as well as the odd Tarabilla Norteña, Tarabilla común, Mirlo Capiblanco or Collalba Gris. With luck and patience, Bisbita Campestre can also be seen here. They are rare but regular stopover visitors at this site.

The northern part of the area is completely fenced off and therefore offers birds the minimum level of disturbance. A small herd of donkeys graze here. This part of the site is the best place to search for Lavandera Boyera, Collalba Gris, Tarabilla Norteña and Bisbita Campestre.
