Description

Pradera de Escalante is a more or less extensive area of meadows, which has multiple paths to explore and identify its numerous species of passerines. The meadows support a huge diversity of birds such as жолтогрла стрнарка, црноглаво грмушарче, Голема сипка and обична ѕвингалка. These meadows are watched over by raptors such as црна луња, Обична (Црнонокна) ветрушка or глувчар. In addition, other birds such as царче or дрозд пејач can be seen in the wooded patches. There is also the possibility of seeing waders or birds typical of marsh environments, such as мала бела чапја or ибис. Finally, the presence of обично страче should be highlighted.

Access

Access is easy, since the walk can begin in the town of Escalante itself, where it is possible to park. Most of the route (which is done to suit the user) is paved and allows access to cars (for better and for worse). It is possible to enter some of the meadows, but it is not necessary to step on grass if you do not want to. The circular route indicated on the map is about 2,5 km.
