Descripción
Cueva del Moro is rock in the Sierra de la Plata. Famous among birders because of the rare swifts ( Vencejo Cafre and Vencejo Moro ) which formerly bred in Cueva del Moro. But you must be lucky to see them nowadays, although they are still observed. Easier to see is the colony of nesting Buitre Leonado and the Roquero Solitario. Other birds you can observe here include Halcón Peregrino, Avión Roquero, Alimoche Común and during migration Culebrera Europea, Águila calzada, Abejero Europeo and Milano Negro. Don't forget to explore the surrounding habitats which are also rich in birds.
