Descripción
The rocky Chortis Hill and the olive orchards west of Lardos are a nice place for watching birds. The paths at the base of the Chortis Hill are a reliable place for Cogujada Común, Roquero Solitario, Escribano Ceniciento and Bisbita Campestre. Also Busardo Moro and Vencejo Real can be spotted gliding along the hill. And check the bigger trees for Perdiz chúcar. The former fortress and the abandoned sports area are a good place to check for Collalba Rubia and Alcaudón Común, and pay attention to Golondrina Dáurica that might fly over as well.
In the olive orchards you can find Abejaruco Europeo, Abubilla común and different kinds of warblers. Along the river Lardos, you can find Garcilla Cangrejera and Martinete Común.

I have visited the area in late spring (End of May, early June) both in 2023 and 2024. In 2024, you could see the impact that the bushfires had also in this region, but because vegetation is very low, it was not so servere. What I did note was that the population of Escribano Ceniciento had massively decreased.
