Beskrivning

Vale Gonçalinho is located in the core of Castro Verde Special Protection Area, a treeless, man-made landscape, somehow resembling the true Russian Steppe, and home to a set of bird species that strictly depend on this habitat to thrive.

During early spring along, the walking trail, you can easly spot rödhöna, rödfalk, blåkråka, kalanderlärka and småtrapp. svartbukig flyghöna can be found around the track, keep an eye for birds flying just over the horizon. ängshök and spansk kejsarörn are also possible. On spring and early summer pay attention to ground dwelling passerines such as korttålärka and fältpiplärka.

During winter its possible to spot flocks of tofsvipa and ljungpipare, as well as large flocks of sånglärka. It's also possible to see stenfalk chasing small passerines.

Almost every rock piles scattered around this area is occupied by a minervauggla, all year around.

Extra information

Since this is private land you're advised to stay on the marked trail, and close every gate you cross. On hot spring/summer days bring water, and avoid the hottest hours of the day (birds won't much active anyway).

Motorhomes are not allowed to spend the night (there are specific places in Castro Verde for that purpose).
