Descrizione
Vale Gonçalinho is located in the core of Castro Verde Special Protection Area, a treeless, man-made landscape, somehow resembling the true Russian Steppe, and home to a set of bird species that strictly depend on this habitat to thrive.
During early spring along, the walking trail, you can easly spot Pernice rossa, Grillaio, Ghiandaia marina, Calandra and Gallina prataiola. Ganga can be found around the track, keep an eye for birds flying just over the horizon. Albanella minore and Aquila imperiale iberica are also possible. On spring and early summer pay attention to ground dwelling passerines such as Calandrella and Calandro.
During winter its possible to spot flocks of Pavoncella and Piviere dorato, as well as large flocks of Allodola. It's also possible to see Smeriglio chasing small passerines.
Almost every rock piles scattered around this area is occupied by a Civetta, all year around.

Since this is private land you're advised to stay on the marked trail, and close every gate you cross. On hot spring/summer days bring water, and avoid the hottest hours of the day (birds won't much active anyway).
Motorhomes are not allowed to spend the night (there are specific places in Castro Verde for that purpose).
