Descripción

This site offers the option of two circular walks. One of 2-3 km and other (Sendero El Palancar) of c8km. The longer circuit takes you along the edge of a large reservoir (Embalse de Charco Redondo) but you should see most of the birds the area has to offer on the shorter walk. Both routes snake through woodland and open areas. The woodlands hold Mosquitero Ibérico, Mosquitero Papialbo and Herrerillo Capuchino, open woodland areas have Escribano Soteño and Alondra Totovía and the low scrub a veriety of ‘Sylvia’ warblers such as Curruca Zarcera, Curruca Cabecinegra and Curruca Rabilarga. At the start of the walk you have a good view to the south across the main road as it passes over the Puerta de Valdespera. This makes it a good location to watch the movement of raptors in spring and autumn when Águila calzada, Milano Negro, Abejero Europeo and the odd Alimoche Común (plus Cigüeña Negra) pass through. Buitre Leonado, Culebrera Europea, Gavilán Común and Busardo ratonero frequently appear but you need a good deal of luck to spot Águila perdicera or Azor Común here although both are possible. The reservoir may also attract passing Águila Pescadora. During passage periods expect Abejaruco Europeo and pretty much any small passerine migrant.

Información extra

As noted above for the less energetic the shorter should produce most of the birds but walking along the reservoir may give you a chance of Águila Pescadora. On the shorter walk look out en route for a couple of ancient cave shelters (in later years the haunt of charcoal burners and, allegedly, a refuge of bandits and brigands).
