Other birds you can spot in the area are Iberische Klapekster, Tijgervink, Sint-Helenafazantje and Hop. Also many wintering birds of prey (sometimes in high densities) like Bruine Kiekendief, Blauwe Kiekendief, Rode Wouw, Grijze Wouw, Smelleken and Velduil. Best times for a visit are winter and spring, from November to May. From June to October it can be very quiet on the fields.
