Descrizione
For a modest entrance fee, Palheiro Gardens provide convenient opportunities to see several Madeiran landbirds including Colomba di Madera (we saw at least 8), Fiorrancino di Madera, Fringuello di Madera, Rondone unicolore as well as more widespread species such as Capinera and Gheppio. The gardens are not as expansive as those at Monte but this is a particularly accessible site for Colomba di Madera, making for relaxed birding with plenty for non-birding family and friends to enjoy. Cardinal and other butterflies are plentiful while there are Perez Frogs in the ornamental ponds. There's a tea-shop and WCs.
