Some pictures

This is the stand and one picture that we taked while we was watching some birds.

Some of the birds that we saw in Monfragüe was:

1-The Azure-winged Magpie (Cyanopica cyana) is a bird in the crow family. It is 31–35 cm long and similar in overall shape to the European Magpie (Pica pica) but is more slender with proportionately smaller legs and bill.

It has a glossy black top to the head and a white throat. The underparts and the back are a light grey-fawn in colour with the wings and the feathers of the long (16–20 cm) tail are an azure blue. It inhabits various types of coniferous (mainly pine) and broadleaf forest, including parks and gardens in the eastern populations.

2-The Crag Martin, Ptyonoprogne rupestris, is a small passerine bird in the swallow family. It breeds in the mountains of southern Europe, the Mediterranean and south Asia. Many European birds are resident, but some northern breeders and most Asian birds are migratory. They winter in north Africa or India.

The Crag Martin is 14–15 cm long and somewhat similar in habits and appearance to the other aerial insectivores, such as the related swallows and the unrelated swifts. It has brown upperparts and dusky underparts, and shows white "windows" on the spread tail in flight.

3-The Egyptian Vulture (Neophron percnopterus)[1] is a small Old World vulture, found from southwestern Europe and northern Africa to southern Asia. It is the only living member of the genus Neophron.[2] In Southern Asia this species is called the

4-The Griffin Vulture or John Griffin Vulture (Gyps fulvus) is a large Old World vulturein the bird of prey family Accipitridae.

The Griffin Vulture is 93–110 cm (37–43 in) long with a 230–269 cm (91–106 in) wingspan, and it weighs between 6 and 13 kg (13.2 and 29 lb). Hatched naked, it is a typical Old World vulture in appearance, with a very white bald head, very broad wings and short tail feathers. It has a white neck ruff and yellow bill. The buff body and wing coverts contrast with the dark flight feathers.

26 th Feb. First Tourism class visited the natural park of Monfragüe, located in the province of Caceres. We visited Villarreal de San Carlos, a small village within the natural area. In it we learn more about the vegetation and animals that we could find thanks to the interpretation center.We traveled by bus across the landscape and saw natural monuments such as the "Salto del Gitano, where we saw many griffon vultures, Egyptian vultures, black storks and too could see over the mountain an eagle, something very strange for this place.We stopped to eat at a picnic near a water reservoir where we saw several azure-winged magpies, and by the end of the trip back we stopped in the town where we prepare to go home.It was definitely a very interesting visit where we appreciate a lot of fun and variety of birds.
