Descrição
For a modest entrance fee, Palheiro Gardens provide convenient opportunities to see several Madeiran landbirds including Pombo da Madeira (we saw at least 8), Bis-bis, Tentilhão-da-madeira, Andorinhão-da-serra as well as more widespread species such as Toutinegra-de-barrette-preto and peneireiro-de-dorso-malhado / peneireiro. The gardens are not as expansive as those at Monte but this is a particularly accessible site for Pombo da Madeira, making for relaxed birding with plenty for non-birding family and friends to enjoy. Cardinal and other butterflies are plentiful while there are Perez Frogs in the ornamental ponds. There's a tea-shop and WCs.
