Beschrijving
Parque da Pasteleira is a small city park, with around 7 hectares. It preserves some of the last remains of the pine forest that used to cover the area. Most of the park is located in a sloped area, which is mainly covered by pine and oak forest. On the lower part of the park there is a lake surrounded by gardens and a couple of grassy areas. When birding in this spot, the two main areas of interest should be the lake and the forested areas.
Although not big, the lake attracts some species of ducks such as Wilde Eend, Nijlgans and Slobeend. It is also a gathering place for gulls, mainly Geelpootmeeuw and Kleine Mantelmeeuw. The margins should be scouted for IJsvogel, Oeverloper, Blauwe Reiger and Kleine Zilverreiger. During spring and summer, swallows and swifts can be found feeding over the lake. Some of the most common species are Gierzwaluw, Boerenzwaluw and Rotszwaluw(which is present all year round).
Zwarte Spreeuw, Houtduif, Turkse Tortel, Ekster and Zwarte Kraai can be seen in or around the surrounding grass patches. The pine and oak forest is home to a large diversity of species. The illusive Groene Specht and Grote Bonte Specht are most often heard than seen. The Gaai is quite common in the area, just like other typical forest species like Boomkruiper, Vink, Zwarte Mees and Koolmees.
