Descripción

Los llanos de Cáceres, or the steppes of Cáceres, is a large steppe area and one op the best places for steppe birds in Extremadura. A rural road runs across the steppes from which a large part of the steppes can be overlooked. These steppes consist entirely of grassland. There is no agriculture. In the past, this area was also a dehesa with old trees that were felled for the construction of the cities and for the Spanish Armada. At this point (see the map below) you find the bird hide of La Pulgosa, but actually you can stop at many points along this dirt road and find birds like Avutarda Euroasiática, Sisón Común, Ganga Ibérica, Ganga Ortega, Calandria Común, Perdiz Roja, Críalo Europeo, Abubilla común, Carraca Europea, Mochuelo Europeo and Alcaraván Común. But also a very good area for raptors like Buitre Negro, Buitre Leonado, Culebrera Europea, Águila calzada, Águila Imperial Ibérica, Águila Real, Aguilucho Lagunero Occidental, Aguilucho Cenizo, Milano Real and Milano Negro.
