Beskrivning
El Chorro is the gateway to Desfiladero de Los Gaitanes (the Vultures' Gorge), a stunning nature reserve at the confluence of three rivers, forming three large reservoirs. On the high cliffs of the gorge, there is a large breeding population of gåsgam and the famous hiking trail, the Caminito del Rey, snakes through it, following the Guadalhorce River. While the Caminito is amazing, you're probably better off visiting some less popular areas if you want to see as many birds as possible. Resident species include Härfågel, blåtrast, svart stenskvätta, lagerlärka, tofsmes, klippsvala, iberisk varfågel/ökenvarfågel, sammetshätta, provencesångare, Mindre korsnäbb, gulhämpling, häcksparv, klippsparv, Pilgrimsfalk, kungsörn and the rare hökörn. In summer and during migration, they're joined by biätare, alpseglare, Rostgumpsvala, rödhuvad törnskata, Bivråk, dvärgörn, ormörn and more. There are also Spanish ibex in the reserve and occasionally, smutsgam and Black Vulture are seen. Some of the best viewpoints for birding in the reserve include Conde de Guadalhorce Dam Viewpoint, Mirador de las Buitreras and Tajo del Cabrero, with the routes and other locations detailed in a link below. You'll get the most out of a day of birding here if you drive around to different trails and viewpoints.
