Beskrivning
Parque Nacional de Monfragüe in Extremadura is one of the nicest birding areas in Europe. Here you can see the largest colonies of gåsgam, Black Vulture, svart stork, spansk kejsarörn, hökörn, Pilgrimsfalk, smutsgam and berguv. And checking out smaller birds can reveal blåtrast, iberisk gransångare, mindre hackspett, etc.
There are rocky areas, mediterranean forest and dehesa, which is an excellent zone for red deer during the rutting season and where there is vit stork and gråhäger. The irrigated agriculture is of interest in autumn and winter for the presence of Trana and in some years bergfink. The best time for seeing the greatest varieaty is spring although in autumn and winter, non-breeding species such as Storskarv, Trana, järnsparv and domherre can be present. In July and August is advisable to take advantage of the first and final hours of the day, since the middle part will be very hot.
