Description

Los llanos de Cáceres, or the steppes of Cáceres, is a large steppe area and one op the best places for steppe birds in Extremadura. A rural road runs across the steppes from which a large part of the steppes can be overlooked. These steppes consist entirely of grassland. There is no agriculture. In the past, this area was also a dehesa with old trees that were felled for the construction of the cities and for the Spanish Armada. At this point (see the map below) you find the bird hide of La Pulgosa, but actually you can stop at many points along this dirt road and find birds like Outarde barbue, Outarde canepetière, Ganga cata, Ganga unibande, Alouette calandre, Perdrix rouge, Coucou geai, Huppe fasciée, Rollier d'Europe, Chevêche d'Athéna and Oedicnème criard. But also a very good area for raptors like Vautour moine, Vautour fauve, Circaète Jean-le-Blanc, Aigle botté, Aigle ibérique, Aigle royal, Busard des roseaux, Busard cendré, Milan royal and Milan noir.
