We start at exit 35 of the A-58 towards Santa Marta de Magasca, making the first stop (o.p. 01) to take the paved track to our left and start looking for Great and Little Bustard, European Roller, Montagu’s Harrier, Lesser Kestrel, Pin-tailed and Black-bellied Sandgrouse, Stone Curlew and other birds such as Corn Bunting, Calandra and Thekla Larks and Spanish Sparrow. Following the route we will stop at the entrance of another farm (o.p. 02) to look for the same species, as well as Black-eared Wheatear, Greater Short-toed Lark, Eurasian Hoopoe, European Stonechat, European Bee-eater… and due to the abundant livestock, perhaps Griffon, Cinereous or Egyptian Vultures.
The Tamuja River valley (o.p. 03) offers a wooded habitat where you can see Common Buzzard, Booted Eagle, European Turtle Dove, Iberian Magpie, Common Blackbird, Mistle Thrush, Western Subalpine, Sardinian and Dartford Warblers, Blue and Great Tits and Common Cuckoo. On the rocky outcrops there are Blue Rock Thrush, Black Wheatear and Rock Bunting. After the town of Santa Marta de Magasca we will descend to the Magasca River (o.p. 04) to take a short walk along its banks and look for Little Ringed Plover, Green and Common Sandpipers, White and Grey Wagtails… and other species that take advantage of the cover of the wooded valley sides such as Black Kite, Short-toed Eagle, Eurasian Sparrowhawk, Eurasian Eagle Owl, Black Stork, Wood Pigeon, Eurasian Jay, Eurasian Wren, Eurasian Nuthatch, Short-toed Treecreeper, Common Chaffinch and Melodious Warbler.
We continue until the junction with the CC-128 (o.p. 05) where a path parallel to the road allows us to explore the area on foot to look for Great and Little Bustards, Montagu’s Harrier, Pin-tailed Sandgrouse, Stone Curlew… and given the proximity of Monfragüe, perhaps eagles. Golden, Spanish Imperial and Bonelli’s Eagles use these areas as hunting grounds. Later, we will walk along the Puente Mocha trail (o.p. 06) where most of the species of the plains can be observed, during autumn passage also Northern and Black-eared Wheatear, Pied Flycatcher, Tawny Pipit, Whinchat, Western Yellow Wagtail and in winter European Golden Plover, Northern Lapwing, Hen Harrier, Meadow Pipit, Eurasian Skylark, White Wagtail and Black-headed and Lesser Black-backed Gulls.
