PORTAJE EMBALSE - CANCHOS DE RAMIRO


The Portaje reservoir, in the Alagón Valley region, is a small artificial wetland of high ornithological importance, which currently holds the record of being the locality of Extremadura where the greatest number of bird species have been recorded over the years . Among its outstanding values is a breeding colony formed by several species of herons, as well as a rich community of birds linked to aquatic environments, such as the waterfowl and waders, especially during migratory and winter months. The adjacent dehesas, harbor a good representation of Mediterranean birds, as well as several species of raptors of interest, such as the blue-winged or the short-toed European.
