Description
Cueva del Moro is rock in the Sierra de la Plata. Famous among birders because of the rare swifts ( White-rumped Swift and Little Swift ) which formerly bred in Cueva del Moro. But you must be lucky to see them nowadays, although they are still observed. Easier to see is the colony of nesting белоглав мршојадец and the модар дрозд. Other birds you can observe here include сив сокол, карпеста ластовичка, египетски мршојадец and during migration орел змијар, мал орел, осојад and црна луња. Don't forget to explore the surrounding habitats which are also rich in birds.
