Birding in Gredos
Birding in Gredos
In this program, the different habitats present will be combined, such as oak groves, riverside forests, pine forests of Pinus Sylvestris, broom trees at different altitudes and mountain rockies.
We will visit each of these habitats looking for the most representative bird species of each of them.
We propose to realize it in two days of 8 hours of duration to know in depth the ornithological wealth of this mountain range.
Day 1: In search of mountain birds.
It will be the day dedicated to meet the birds that inhabit the highest areas of the mountain, always above the limit of the trees. On this day, we can observe birds of the piornal and mountain meadows such as the sage scrub, bluethroat, alpine pipit, sandpiper, common accentor, Ortolan Bunting or Northern Wheatear. Near the rocks we can see other birds such as Rufous-tailed Rock Thrush, Alpine accentor (very rare) or Red-billed Chough.
At a lower altitude, near the boundary of the trees, we can find passerines such as Melodius warbler, warbler, Common Whitethroat or Orphean Warbler
