Beskrivning
The natural monument of Portas de Ródão is a breathtaking masterpiece of nature in the region of Central Portugal. River Tagus flows through two gigantic quartz rocks, truly reminding of “doors”. On the north top of Portas de Ródão, that can be easily reached by road, you will find the small castle of King Wamba (named after a Visigoth king), also known as the “Castelo de Ródão”. From this viewpoint you will have a wonderful panoramic view over the Tagus valley and you can find threatened birds, such as smutsgam, grågam, rüppellgam, kungsörn, hökörn, ormörn, dvärgörn, Bivråk, röd glada and svart stork. Within the soaring birds, the gåsgam are the one that stand out, as this natural monument is home to the largest colony in the country. Portas de Ródão is also a good spot to detect nattskärra, kattuggla, Tornuggla, minervauggla, dvärguv, hornuggla and the extraordinary berguv. The best way to prospect the crags is taking a boat trip. Not only allows you to observe the gåsgam more closely, but also allows you to detect other rupicolous birds, such as blåtrast andalpjärnsparv. The boat trip also allows you to observe kungsfiskare, gräsand, Smådopping, skäggdopping, rörhöna, drillsnäppa, Storskarv, gråhäger, ägretthäger, Silkeshäger; and other birds that are in the river bank like vit stork, korp, svartkråka, tofsvipa, iberisk blåskata and Skata. A walk through the surrounding lands also allows the detection and observation of vaktel, rödhöna, skatgök, gök, Härfågel, biätare, sommargylling, rödhuvad törnskata, iberisk varfågel/ökenvarfågel, herdesångare, törnsångare, pilfink, stensparv and hämpling. In the skies you can also see several swifts: vitgumpseglare, alpseglare, tornseglare and blek tornseglare.
