LUIS SITGES
El Pardo, one of the best sites for birdwatching in Spain.
At just 9 km. of the city of Madrid is the Monte de El Pardo a paradise to observe many species of birds. Of Tthe highlight the Spanish Imperial Eagle, Monk Vulture, Black Stork and this year is revealing a pair of Bonelli´s Eagles.
The walk along the banks of the Manzanares river is very comfortable and never disappoints.
I leave a list of birds that I have observed in the months of February and March. There are still many migratory birds that have not yet arrived and some have already left.
