Descrizione

The reservoir has an observation hide, a dam wall and a goat track which you can walk which takes you along the top of the ridge of the dam, but be warned, the birds here are skittish and take off en mass at the slightest disturbance, this we found out first hand. it can be accesed on both sides by crossing the dam wall but the opposite side is rough terrain with little cover. Species here include Codone , Spatola, Alzavola, Cavaliere d'Italia, Casarca, Capovaccaio and Ganga to mention a few.

Dettagli

Accesso

Reached from the road FV207 take the track signposted Embalse de los Molinos (Molinos Reservoir) follow the track keeping an eye out for birds we had 5 Poiana on here, continue to the end of the track where there is a small parking area. Park here and go through the gate following the path, half way along there is a bird hide, you can stay here but will probably need a scope, or continue further down the track. The goat farm on the left is a hot spot for Capovaccaio and Ganga.
