Beschrijving
Cueva del Moro is rock in the Sierra de la Plata. Famous among birders because of the rare swifts ( Kaffergierzwaluw and Huisgierzwaluw ) 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 Vale Gier and the Blauwe Rotslijster. Other birds you can observe here include Slechtvalk, Rotszwaluw, Aasgier and during migration Slangenarend, Dwergarend, Wespendief and Zwarte Wouw. Don't forget to explore the surrounding habitats which are also rich in birds.
