Description
This trail near Camping Monfragüe offers a relaxed and easy way to explore the dehesa system so typical of the region and its birds. It basically constitutes a stony track paralell to the EX-208 leading from Camping Monfragüe towards the National Park. Because of its proximity to the park's proper and its location in the heart of the Monfragüe Biosphere reserve, it offers chances to see some of the most typical inhabitants of the area, like munkkikorppikotka, hanhikorppikotka, pikkukorppikotka, käärmekotka and haarahaukka. Several smaller species are commonly spotted here as well: punapäälepinkäinen is very common, so is Iberian Magpie but rusotasku, Kuhankeittäjä are often seen as well. Some of the rarer encounters we have had are pikkutrappi, vuorikotka and ruostepyrstö.
Keeping an eye to the sky will most certainly offer views of many raptors, whereas the smaller species can be spotted in the scrubland and among the dehesa oaks.
