Beschrijving
La Higuerilla is a great spot to look for birds of prey. In 2024 I found 3 different Monniksgier nests in the oaks on the other side of the river, although they require some dilligent scanning to be found. Moreover, Spaanse Keizerarend breeds about 2 kilometres North of here and regularly passes over this viewpoint. Also easily seen in spring and summer are Zwarte Wouw, Slangenarend and Dwergarend.
Be sure to check the riverbanks for fishing Zwarte Ooievaar. On- and around the river Blauwe Reiger, Kleine Zilverreiger and Aalscholver are present most of the time, as well as Purperreiger sometimes. Pay attention to the calls of Rode Patrijs, which often can be found in the scrubland or even crossing the road.

La Higuerilla is easily reached from Villareal de San Carlos. It is the third viewpoint (on the left side of the road) after passing the Torrejon-Tietar dam. You can park next to the viewpoint. Press P on the map for directions.
