Description

Albufeira da Toulica is a small reservoir that is a nice place for birding. The national road 332 runs along the dam and provides a good view of the reservoir. Paths also run along both banks. The surrounding fields and scattered trees and scrubby areas are even more interesting. And don't forget to look up for birds of prey. Among the birds you can encounter in the area are viiriäinen, punapyy, harakkakäki, pikkutylli, rantasipi, kattohaikara, liitohaukka, munkkikorppikotka, Iberian Magpie, mehiläissyöjä, etelänisolepinkäinen, etelänsatakieli, ruskokerttu and harjalintu.
