Descripción

Parque Nacional de Monfragüe in Extremadura is one of the nicest birding areas in Europe. Here you can see the largest colonies of Buitre Leonado, Black Vulture, Cigüeña Negra, Águila Imperial Ibérica, Águila perdicera, Halcón Peregrino, Alimoche Común and Búho Real. And checking out smaller birds can reveal Roquero Solitario, Mosquitero Ibérico, Pico Menor, etc.

There are rocky areas, mediterranean forest and dehesa, which is an excellent zone for red deer during the rutting season and where there is Cigüeña Blanca and Garza Real. The irrigated agriculture is of interest in autumn and winter for the presence of Grulla Común and in some years Pinzón Real. The best time for seeing the greatest varieaty is spring although in autumn and winter, non-breeding species such as Cormorán Grande, Grulla Común, Acentor Común and Camachuelo Común can be present. In July and August is advisable to take advantage of the first and final hours of the day, since the middle part will be very hot.
