Lakes of Pétrola and Ontalafia. Wetlands and steppe areas of Albacete
Discover this corner of Albacete, that contains a great variety of representative habitats of the interior mainland declared as IBA (Important Bird Area) or ZEPA (Zona de Especial Protección para las Aves).
Start this experience at the endorheic complex of Pétrola-Coral Rubio.
You will observe a great range of steppe land birds like great bustards, little bustards or alcaravanes.
Visit numerous lakes of the area, each of them with their peculiar characteristics, that are also the cradle of a great number of birds relying on wetlands: flamingos, gadwalls, common pochard, coots and other wader species.
Later on, travel to the lake of Ontalafia and the salty lake of Pétrola. The transit area all the way to Ontalafia is of great interest, because here we find a great quantity of birds of prey, like the red kite, the common buzzard or the golden eagle. You could even watch the not-so-common imperial eagle!
