Beschrijving

Parque Nacional de Monfragüe in Extremadura is one of the nicest birding areas in Europe. Here you can see the largest colonies of Vale Gier, Black Vulture, Zwarte Ooievaar, Spaanse Keizerarend, Havikarend, Slechtvalk, Aasgier and Oehoe. And checking out smaller birds can reveal Blauwe Rotslijster, Iberische Tjiftjaf, Kleine Bonte Specht, etc.

There are rocky areas, mediterranean forest and dehesa, which is an excellent zone for red deer during the rutting season and where there is Ooievaar and Blauwe Reiger. The irrigated agriculture is of interest in autumn and winter for the presence of Kraanvogel and in some years Keep. The best time for seeing the greatest varieaty is spring although in autumn and winter, non-breeding species such as Aalscholver, Kraanvogel, Heggenmus and Goudvink can be present. In July and August is advisable to take advantage of the first and final hours of the day, since the middle part will be very hot.
