Descripción

The National Forest is predominantly Stone Pine over an understorey of Spanish Broom, grading into dune vegetation. The whole area is easily accessible via a network of footpaths and offers good birding, even at the edge of the holiday resort of Montegordo. The area offers a good chance to observe Iberian specialities. Estornino Negro, Abubilla común, Serín Verdecillo, Herrerillo Capuchino, Curruca Cabecinegra, Agateador Europeo and Pico Menor should be easy to find with Iberian Pito Real requiring greater effort, being more often heard than seen.

Colirrojo Tizón occurs in winter. Rabilargo Ibérico is easiest to find around R. das Comunidades Portuguesas, the road leading north towards the Lidl supermarket. Vencejo Pálido can be found in Montegordo itself in summer (and Avión Roquero in winter) while Perdiz Roja and Cogujada Común inhabit the dunes.
