Tierra de Campos-Pan-Norte Duero (Zamora) Birds of interest Tierra de Campos-PanNorte Duero This flat terrain, together with the poor permeability of the land, has led to the formation of lakes like the Lagunas de Villafáfila, a Nature Reserve and winter haven for water birds from the North of Europe. The Reserve also attracts a large population of steppe birds, out of which it is worth mentioning the great bustard (Otis tarda) with around 1000 birds in the month of August on the post-breeding census and with numbers reaching 2.500 birds in the mating season. There are four SPAs (Special Protection Areas) in this district. Little bustard Black-winged Stilt Avocet Gullbilled tern Short-eared owl Santa María de Moreruela Marsh harrier Montagu´s harrier Lesser kestrel Great bustard Greylag goose Crane Landscape Cereal plains, wetland, pasture www.birdwatchinginspain.com River Sequillo Birdwatching routes • Ricobayo Reservoir • Moreruela • River Sequillo Visit this district Tourist services Eco Tourism 37
