Descripción

Vale Gonçalinho is located in the core of Castro Verde Special Protection Area, a treeless, man-made landscape, somehow resembling the true Russian Steppe, and home to a set of bird species that strictly depend on this habitat to thrive.

During early spring along, the walking trail, you can easly spot Perdiz Roja, Cernícalo Primilla, Carraca Europea, Calandria Común and Sisón Común. Ganga Ortega can be found around the track, keep an eye for birds flying just over the horizon. Aguilucho Cenizo and Águila Imperial Ibérica are also possible. On spring and early summer pay attention to ground dwelling passerines such as Terrera Común and Bisbita Campestre.

During winter its possible to spot flocks of Avefría Europea and Chorlito Dorado Europeo, as well as large flocks of Alondra Común. It's also possible to see Esmerejón chasing small passerines.

Almost every rock piles scattered around this area is occupied by a Mochuelo Europeo, all year around.

Información extra

Since this is private land you're advised to stay on the marked trail, and close every gate you cross. On hot spring/summer days bring water, and avoid the hottest hours of the day (birds won't much active anyway).

Motorhomes are not allowed to spend the night (there are specific places in Castro Verde for that purpose).
