Description

A long cycle route starts here but of more interest to birdwatchers is the convenient c4-5 km circular walk through pine woods to a ridge and back down to the main track. The woodlands hold Pouillot de Bonelli and Mésange huppée, open areas have Bruant fou, Bruant zizi and Alouette lulu and the low scrub a variety of ‘Sylvia’ warblers such as Fauvette grisette, Fauvette mélanocéphale and Fauvette pitchou. As with all footpaths beside the A 381 this is a good location to look for raptors particularly in spring and autumn when Aigle botté, Milan noir, Bondrée apivore and the odd Vautour percnoptère (plus Cigogne noire) pass through. Circaète Jean-le-Blanc (spring-autumn), Vautour fauve , Épervier d'Europe and Buse variable frequently appear but if you're lucky you may spot Aigle de Bonelli or Autour des palombes here. During passage periods expect Guêpier d'Europe and pretty much any small passerine migrant.

Informations supplémentaires

The tracks here provide a variety of 'pan handle' walks from 4 km upwards allowing you to tailor your walk to your individual requirements most of the walks are fairly easy but there are several steep sections. Look out for various orchid species and the local Portuguese Sundew (Drosophyllum lusitanicum) which, unlike sundews in northern Europe, has attractive pale yellow flower making it easy to locate.
