In the Somontano area, where a landscape of open horizons dominates, there are important steppe ecosystems where several species of birds coexist. The stone curlew, the Iberian sandgrouse, the black-bellied sandgrouse or the little bustard are examples of birds that can be spotted here.
Owls nest in the earthy flat-topped mountains by rivers like the Alcanadre, and feed on the abundance of prey in the environment.
The Montagu’s harrier nests among the cereal fields, while another species of falconiform bird, the lesser kestrel, finds refuge in the hollows of roofs and walls of agricultural buildings.
The Sierra de Guara and the so-called Kingdom of the Mallos have become true paradises for the observation of rocky birds of prey. There you can find Egyptian vultures, griffon vultures, eagles, the aforementioned bearded vultures and black kites.
Nocturnal birds are always accompanied by the presence of bats that appear during periods of good weather.
Experience the nature of Sierra de Guara!
