Start looking out for wildfowl in\u00a0Tablas de Daimiel National Park<\/a>, a haven for endangered birds such as\u00a0White-Headed Duck<\/strong>, Marbled Teal,\u00a0Ferruginous Pochard<\/strong>, Red-Crestred Pochard, Gadwall, Garganey or the remarkable\u00a0Reed Bunting<\/strong>\u00a0–witherby\u00a0<\/em>subspecies, the most scarce passerine bird nowadays in Spain-. Egrets, Storks & Aquatic Warblers are really common in Spring time, while, in Winter, the Park attracts thousands of wintering birds, including big flocks of\u00a0Scandinavian Common Cranes<\/strong>\u00a0and the precious\u00a0Bluethroat<\/strong>. Combining visit of Tablas de Daimiel with the nearby\u00a0Navaseca Lagoon<\/strong> can be considered as one of the most memorable birding experiences of the whole Spain.<\/p>

If you are looking for a deepest experience, pay a visit to the place called\u00a0La Mancha Wetlands Biosphere Reserve<\/a>, a plethora of lagoons (over 50) inside the flat lands of La Mancha where you can enjoy watching over one hundred different bird species, from Greater Flamingo, White-Headed Duck, Garganey,\u00a0Temmicks\u2019 Stint and Little Tern<\/strong>\u00a0to\u00a0Gull Billed Tern<\/strong>\u00a0or the scarce\u00a0Glossy Ibis<\/strong>.<\/p>

In the\u00a0Campo de Calatrava<\/a>\u00a0fields, when the water level, very changeable, is high, you can enjoy the same species colonizing an important number of seasonal lagoons, from Greylag Goose to White-Headed Duck, from\u00a0Squacco Heron<\/strong>\u00a0to the very common in the area Night Heron.<\/p>

Another excellent area in the Campo de Calatrava is the\u00a0Jabalon Reservoir.<\/strong>\u00a0Depending on the depth, if conditions are right, this reservoir can host thousands of aquatic birds, while in its surroundings there are good chances for finding steppe birds (Pin-Tailed Sandgrouse<\/strong>) and big raptors (Spanish Imperial<\/strong>, Golden Eagle, Short-Toed Eagle, Osprey)<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

SPA Campo de Calatrava<\/a>\u00a0protects one of the remaining areas in Southern Spain where these amazing birds can still be found in big numbers.\u00a0Very close to Almagro<\/strong>, this area offers some great birding.\u00a0Great & Little Bustards<\/strong>\u00a0are readily seen, and it\u2019s not rare to find Stone Curlew & Little Owl either in the morning or in the evening. The place is also excellent for\u00a0Pin-Tailed Sandgrouse<\/strong>\u00a0(called the Bird of La Mancha) and even for\u00a0Black-Belied Sandgrouse<\/strong>.<\/p>

Other species to look out for are Golden Eagle,\u00a0Spanish Imperial Eagle<\/strong>, Red-Billed Chough, Iberian Grey Shrike (Lanius meridionalis<\/em>), Red-Legged Partridge, Skylark, Thekla,\u00a0Greater Short-Toed Lark<\/strong>, Calandra & Crested Larks.

\u00a0<\/div>
Other sttepe areas in the Ciudad Real province, as the\u00a0Guadiana Steppes<\/strong>\u00a0near Tablas de Daimiel, can be another surprise for birders.

It is esencial that birdwatchers visit\u00a0Caba\u00f1eros N.P.<\/a>\u00a0and its surroundings. Unspoiled, underwatched & huge, Caba\u00f1eros provides an ideal lookout for people interested in some of the most wanted species in Europe. Very well known for its\u00a0Spanish Imperial Eagle<\/strong>\u00a0pairs, this amazing park is also home of the\u00a0second biggest population in all the world of Black Vulture<\/strong>\u00a0with more than 210 breeding pairs in the small territory known as \u201cla \u00a0Ra\u00f1a de Santiago\u201d.<\/p>

\u00a0<\/div>
Among the various raptors that you should encounter in the\u00a0open savanna like areas<\/strong>\u00a0of the park (Black & Griffon Vulture, Black & Red Kite, Short-Toed Eagle, Booted Eagle, Lesser Kestrel, Common Buzzard, Montagu\u2019s Harrier, etc.) there is one specie that focuses the interest of all birdwatchers:\u00a0Black-Shouldered Kite<\/strong>. Look for it in the large plains of Cabaneros. In May, birds migrating from the South can surprise the park\u2019s visitors with the presence of the rare\u00a0Red-Footed Falcon<\/strong>.<\/div>
\u00a0<\/div>
Along with the neighbouring Caba\u00f1eros, the\u00a0Campo de Calatrava<\/a>\u00a0offers\u00a0superb birding experiences<\/strong>\u00a0in mixed areas of Mediterranean Forest and Farms, with very high chances to find magnificent raptors such as\u00a0Golden Eagle<\/strong>\u00a0(over 14 pairs) and\u00a0Spanish Imperial Eagle<\/strong>\u00a0(10 pairs).

\u00a0<\/div>
Near Campo de Calatrava, in just an hour by car, the visitor can reach the area called\u00a0Campo de Montiel<\/strong>, and excellent place for raptor-watching.\u00a0The biggest density of Spanish Imperial Eagle in all Spain (over 40 pairs)<\/strong>, along with great numbers of big raptors like Golden,\u00a0Bonelli\u2019s<\/strong>, Short-Toed & Booted Eagles, make this amazing and underwatched place a must if you are really interested in those top animals.<\/div>

As every nature lover knows, Iberian Lynx is becoming rare to find in\u00a0Sierra de Andujar<\/a>, but, without any doubt, this is still\u00a0THE PLACE<\/strong>\u00a0to see this endangered animal in the wild. The popular Sierra can be traversed from north to south and from east to west in search of the greatest jewel of the Iberian Wildlife, with very good chances if done between November & February.<\/p>

While Sierra de Andujar is the most popular place for the Lynx,\u00a0Campo de Calatrava<\/a>\u00a0(in the\u00a0Sierra Morena area<\/strong>) is now offered as a new opening place for those interested not only in the cat. A fresh window to the luxuriant nature of Sierra Morena.<\/div>

Above 1.000m the\u00a0Valle de Alcudia<\/a>\u00a0mountains brings excellent chances to locate small herds of the endemic race of the very sought Ibex. Solitarire and very shy males might be spotlighted in the high cliffs of the Valley.\u00a0Sierra de Andujar<\/a>\u00a0is another option for those interested in this endemic mammal of the Iberian Peninsula.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
