Explore wildlife in the hard steppe
In the Steppes wildlife need to work hard in order to survive in such an extreme environment. Here strong winds, freezing or burning temperatures are common.Moreover, in Seville´s Steppes long time ago humans transformed the land to plant a range of crops. And in last decades intensive farming and new varieties of cereal are becoming more and more common, increasing the challenge of wildlife to survive. In fact most of the steppe birds species are endangered despite the fact that Andalucia has huge areas to accommodate them in big numbers.
In this tour you will go through huge cereals and sunflower farms looking for any shy steppe birds. The best areas for birding are not far from some historic towns: Carmona and Osuna (Seville)
During the breeding season you could spot amazing birds like European Roller, European Bee Eater, Montagu´s Harrier or Collared Pratincole
But maybe the queen of this route is the biggest bird in the world that can fly, the huge Great Bustard. The males can weight 16 kg! Although Great Bustard is a resident specie, in order to spot it, the best seasons are autumn and winter. Despite being a big bird is not easy to find it because they are normally shy and use their superb camouflage.
Among this species, you could also find others like Spanish Sparrow, Calandra Lark, Little Bustard, Stone Curlew, Black-Shouldered Kite, Marsh and Hen Harrier, etc… and if you are lucky the Black-Bellied Sandgrouse!
