Beschrijving

A long cycle route starts here but of more interest to birdwatchers is the convenient c4-5 km circular walk through pine woods to a ridge and back down to the main track. The woodlands hold Bergfluiter and Kuifmees, open areas have Grijze Gors, Cirlgors and Boomleeuwerik and the low scrub a variety of ‘Sylvia’ warblers such as Grasmus, Kleine Zwartkop and Provençaalse Grasmus. As with all footpaths beside the A 381 this is a good location to look for raptors particularly in spring and autumn when Dwergarend, Zwarte Wouw, Wespendief and the odd Aasgier (plus Zwarte Ooievaar) pass through. Slangenarend (spring-autumn), Vale Gier , Sperwer and Buizerd frequently appear but if you're lucky you may spot Havikarend or Havik here. During passage periods expect Bijeneter and pretty much any small passerine migrant.

Extra info

The tracks here provide a variety of 'pan handle' walks from 4 km upwards allowing you to tailor your walk to your individual requirements most of the walks are fairly easy but there are several steep sections. Look out for various orchid species and the local Portuguese Sundew (Drosophyllum lusitanicum) which, unlike sundews in northern Europe, has attractive pale yellow flower making it easy to locate.
