Description
El Chorro is the gateway to Desfiladero de Los Gaitanes (the Vultures' Gorge), a stunning nature reserve at the confluence of three rivers, forming three large reservoirs. On the high cliffs of the gorge, there is a large breeding population of Vautour fauve and the famous hiking trail, the Caminito del Rey, snakes through it, following the Guadalhorce River. While the Caminito is amazing, you're probably better off visiting some less popular areas if you want to see as many birds as possible. Resident species include Huppe fasciée, Monticole bleu, Traquet rieur, Cochevis de Thékla, Mésange huppée, Hirondelle de rochers, Pie-grièche méridionale, Fauvette mélanocéphale, Fauvette pitchou, Bec-croisé des sapins, Serin cini, Bruant zizi, Bruant fou, Faucon pèlerin, Aigle royal and the rare Aigle de Bonelli. In summer and during migration, they're joined by Guêpier d'Europe, Martinet à ventre blanc, Hirondelle rousseline, Pie-grièche à tête rousse, Bondrée apivore, Aigle botté, Circaète Jean-le-Blanc and more. There are also Spanish ibex in the reserve and occasionally, Vautour percnoptère and Black Vulture are seen. Some of the best viewpoints for birding in the reserve include Conde de Guadalhorce Dam Viewpoint, Mirador de las Buitreras and Tajo del Cabrero, with the routes and other locations detailed in a link below. You'll get the most out of a day of birding here if you drive around to different trails and viewpoints.
