Descrizione
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 Otarda, Gallina prataiola, Grandule, Ganga, Calandra, Pernice rossa, Cuculo dal ciuffo, Upupa, Ghiandaia marina, Civetta and Occhione. But also a very good area for raptors like Avvoltoio monaco, Grifone, Biancone, Aquila minore, Aquila imperiale iberica, Aquila reale, Falco di palude, Albanella minore, Nibbio reale and Nibbio bruno.
