Monfragüe is a nature reserve placed in the region of Extremadura, in which we can observe a flora and a very varied fauna.

First, we can stand out with regard to the water that the water resources of Monfragüe are a very important agent in this ecosystem, due to the fact that they provide food and water to a great variety of animals and plants and it is a moulding agent og the landscape.

The most important caudal mass of water is the Tagus River. We also have the Tiétar River and some creeks like the Arroyo de la Vid.

There is a large breed of fishes in these rivers or creeks where we can see of fish trouts, barbles, tenchs or black-basses.

On the other hand in Monfragüe, we found two distincy areas: the umbrian and the sunshine.

In the first, with less light and humidity, is composed of arbutus, Viburnum and so on. They are noble species, in general.

The woodland is represented by the cork oak and gall.

In the plains, very disturbed by man, it develops a very resistant vegetation thickets, rubbery, brooms, etc...

In the margins of rivers and streams, are resistant willows with their roots stabilize and secure the edges.

About birdwatching in Monfragüe, we can say Extremadura, fue to great number of habitats that it has, and due to its situation she constitutes the route of migration of many birds, Monfragüe is becoming as an important destination of birdwatching.

Monfragüe provides areas to visit with viewings of birds such as El alto del gitano, La serrana, The castor, among manu others, where we can observe major number of griffon vultures, black stork, imperial eagle, bonelli's eagle, peregrine falcon, the vulture and the eagle owl.

This natural park is one of the best places to birdwatching, specially raptors, in Extremadura.

In addition, Monfragüe have large balconies where you can observe the various birds. These viewpoints are situated at very different points and from north yo south, the most important are:

-Salto del gitano: the greatest of all.

-The Tajadilla

In these viewpoints as elsewhere, one can observe a variety of birds such as vultures, storks, eagles, owls, etc.
In winter and in areas of rangelands and irrigated crops can encounter the presence of the cranes.
Finally, we want to emphasize the FIO, due to the fifth edition of Extremadura birdwatching fair is taking place in Monfragüe National Park.

Extremadura birdwatching Fair has become one of the biggest European events in the sector in record time. The fair with the collaboration of encinonmental and tourism organisations, has the objetive of increasing the value of a more friendly environment and sustainable tourism.

This way of environmental tourism has the goal of observing and studying birds in their natural habitat. That's why Extremadura birdwatching fair will be the principal spanish event entirely focussed on the sector and its pecualities.

From my point of view it is interesting and entertained fot those persons that they like this type of tourism, in spite of the fact that the weather was bad and some things got damaged.
