Description
Parque Forestal Valdebebas - Felipe IV consists of a young forest of native vegetation, though an area to the south does have older trees. Most of the area is dominated by stone pines, which hold all of the common birds of the area. The park has several streams and and two small lakes. These attract birds such as hegyi billegető, Függőcinege, Guvat (uncommon), Jégmadár and sometimes Vörös ásólúd. Some other ducks, like Kendermagos réce, might occasionally show up. Waders, such as Erdei cankó can also appear. There have been records of Ugartyúk. During winter, the top part of the park is very good for szőlőrigó, with fenyőrigó also being present. Some raptors like Barátkeselyű might fly over, but this isn't a good spot for them. Kuvik is present, however, the park is closed at night, making other owl species sightings scarce. Daru might ocassionally fly over during winter.
