Description
Cueva del Moro is rock in the Sierra de la Plata. Famous among birders because of the rare swifts ( Endülüs Ebabili and Küçük Ebabil ) which formerly bred in Cueva del Moro. But you must be lucky to see them nowadays, although they are still observed. Easier to see is the colony of nesting Kızıl akbaba and the Gökardıç. Other birds you can observe here include Gök doðan, Kaya kırlangıcı, Küçük Akbaba and during migration Yılan Kartalı, Küçük kartal, Arı Şahini and Kara çaylak. Don't forget to explore the surrounding habitats which are also rich in birds.
