Hi guys!! I am Vulty and today we are going to visit my house. It is a huge green area in which I live with my relatives and other friends. I have heard some people calling it Monfragüe but for me is my home, sweet home.

There are too many natural parks in Extremadura, but Monfragüe is the best.

Monfragüe is a Spanish national park noted for its bird-life. It is situated in the triangle of Plasencia, Trujillo and the city of Cáceres. The park runs from east to west along the valley of the River Tagus.

International Tagus Natural Park: For part of its course, the River Tagus forms the boundary between Spain and Portugal.

Sierra Suroeste borders the countys of Tierra de Badajoz and Tierra de Barros to the north, Zafra and Tentudía to the east, and Llanos de Olivenza to the west. The river Ardila which runs between Andalucía and Portugal, borders the county to the south

Geoparque Villuercas-Ibores-Jara is a geopark of Extremadura that includes the countys of Las Villuercas, Los Ibores and the Jara Cacereña. Its geological importance lies in the Appalachian relief.

Sierra Suroeste borders the countys of Tierra de Badajoz and Tierra de Barros to the north, Zafra and Tentudía to the east, and Llanos de Olivenza to the west. The river Ardila which runs between Andalucía and Portugal, borders the county to the south

Eurasian Black Vulture

These are my relatives!!!! We are Eurasian black vultures or Cinereous vultures. We are a large raptorial bird and we are one of the most largest Old World vultures. We are about 400 pairs in Monfragüe park and we are all very friends. We estabilish our nesting colonies in Monfragüe high cliffs.Some fat black vultures attain a maximum wheight of 14 kg but it is not my case, because I´m fit.Also we attain a maximum size of 1,2 m long and 3,1 m across the wings.We feed on carrion of almost any type, from the largest mammals available, to fish and reptiles but our favourite plate are European rabbits! Mmmm delicious!

Imperial Eagles

Imperial eagle is also a large raptor but smaller than the Golden eagle. There are more than 10 pairs living in Monfragüe park. They can weight from 2.5 kg to 4.8 kg. They have a total lenght of 74 cm to 85 cm.They are good friends but they use to steal my rabbits! They feed mainly on European rabbits that are my favourite food. As rabbit population crashed they have been recorded feeding on a wide range of vertebrates and also they become semi-specialized hunters of water birds especially Eurasian coots, ducks and geese. Moreover, taking some numbers of pigeons, crows, some mustelids,...

Griffon Vulture

Griffon vultures are my cousins! They are so similar to Black vultures, however, we are black and they are whiter than us. They are 93-122 cm long with a 2.3-2.8 wingspan. They use to weigh 6.2 until 10.5 kg. They are the most visible birds in Monfragüe, there are over 600 pairs !!Like us, they are scavengers, feeding mostly from carcasses of dead animals which they find by soaring over open areas, often moving in flocks. They estabilish nesting colonies in cliffs.

Golden Eagle

The Golden Eagle is one of the best-known birds of prey in the Nothern Hemisphere.They are about 6-7 pairs in Monfragüe. They are 66 to 102 cm long and they weigh 4.05 kg.They are my neighbours and they are too confidents. They are always thinking that they are the best just because they are one of the best birds hunters. They use their agility and speed combined with powerful feet and massive sharp talons to snatch up hares, rabbits,...They build large nests in cliffs and other high places.

Bonelli´s Eagle

The Bonelli´s Eagle is a fairly large bird of prey. They are 65 cm long and 155 cm in wingspan. They weigh 2.1 to 3.03 kg. In Monfragüe there are over 6-7 pairs.They are special predators of certain birds and mammals, especially rabbits, and pigeons. This species is very aerial, often given to soaring and circling over its home range. They mainly live solitary or in breeding pairs.

Black Stork

Black Stork is one of the most famous birds in Monfragüe. Obviously Black Vultures are more famous than them. Measuring on average 95-100 cm from beak tip to end of tail with a 145-to-155 cm in wingspan. It is characterized by its long pointed red beak, its long red legs and its black plumage with white underpants. There are almost 30 pairs in Monfragüe.The black stork is a shy and wary species. It is seen singly or in pairs, usually in marshy areas, rivers or inland waters. It feeds on amphibians, small fish and insects, generally wading slowly in shallow water stalking its prey.

Now I am going to show you my relatives and friends.

Monfragüe is an outstanding site for raptors, with more than 15 regular breeding species. Including the world´s largest colony of Eurasian Black Vulture, the world´s highest concentration of Imperial Eagles, a large population of Griffon Vulture, and several pairs ofSpanish Imperial Eagle, Golden Eagle, and Bonelli´s Eagle.Other breeding birds for which the park is importan are Black Stork andEurasian Eagle Owland there is a high density ofAzure-WingedMagpie. Also White-Rumped Swift breeds there.

These are other types of birds that also live in Monfragüe

PEREGRINE FALCON

EURASIAN EAGLE OWL

EGYPTIAN VULTURE

BLUE ELANIO

AZURE-WINGED MAGPIE

OTHER WILDLIFE

IBERIAN LYNX

ROE DEER

EURASIAN FOX

WILD BOAR

EURASIAN OTTER

EURASIAN SALAMANDER

The Iberian Lynx is the most endareged felines in the world. They live in areas characterized by a mixture of dense woodland, especially areas with an abundance of rabbits and where interference from humans is minimal. The most important threat to the lynx has been reduced food availability. Rabbits make up around 80% of the lynx's diet and these suffered a heavy decline through severe epidemics. Monfragüe is one of the two reproductives populations of Iberian Lynx.

The wild boar is a bulky, massively built suid with short and relatively thin legs. The structure of the head is well suited for digging. The head acts as a plough.The main habitats favored by boars in Europe are decidous and mixed forests, with the most favorable areas consisting of forest composed of oak and beech enclosing marshes and meadows.The wild boar is a highly versatile omnivere.They feed on bulbs, roots, nuts, leaves, earthworms, fish, insects...

The Roe Deer is a relatively small deer, with a body length of 95-135 cm and a weight of 15-35 kg.The roe deer is primarily crepuscular and very quick and graceful, and lives in woods, although it may venture into grasslands and sparse forests. They feed mainly on grass, leaves, berries, and young shoots.

The Eurasian otter is a typical species of the otter subfamily. Brown above and cream below, these long, slender creatures are well-equipped for their aquatic habits. The Eurasian otter's diet mainly consists of fish.Fish is their most preferred choice of food in Mediterranean and temperate freshwater habitats.

Foxes are small-to-medium-sized, omnivourous mammals. Foxes have a flattened skull, upright triangular ears, a pointed, slightly upturned snout , and a long bushy tail.The diet of foxes is largely made up of invertebrates such as insects, and small vertebrates such as reptiles and birds, and can include eggs and plants.

Salamanders are a group of amphibians typically characterized by a lizard-like appearance, with slender bodies, blunt snouts, short limbs projecting at right angles to the body, and the presence of a tail in both larvae and adults.Salamanders are opportunistic predators. They are generally not restricted to specific foods, but feed on almost any organism of a reasonable size like crabs, fish, small mammals...

Let´s see other important things you will see in Monfragüe

TAGUS RIVER:is the longest river in the Iberian Peninsula. The Tagus River runs across Monfragüe´s Valley.

EVERGREEN OAK: An evergreen tree of large size, attaining in favourable places a height of 21-28 m, and developing in open situations a huge head of densely leafy branches as much across, the terminal portions of the branches usually pendulous in old trees. Holm oak grows in pure stands or mixed forest in the Mediterranean and often at low or moderate elevations.

JARA IN BLOOM:It is a shrub growing tall and wide. is particularly well suited to the Continentalized Mediterraneanclimate standing both long summer droughts and cold weather. It is an extremely aggressive plant which has taken over much of former farmland and grasslands in the mountain regions of central Spain and much of southern Portugal.

Salto del Gitano:Arguably the most spectacular spot in the national park is the Mirador Salto del Gitano. From this lookout point, 5km south of Villareal, there are stunning views across the Tagus River to the Peña Falcón crag, home to a colony of circling griffon vultures.

MONFRAGÜE´S SCRUBLAND:is a plant community characterized by vegetation dominated by shrubs often also including grasses, hurbs and geophytes. A shrub is defined as a much-branched woody plant less than 8 m high and usually with many stems.

MONFRAGÜE´S CASTLE:The most well-known and visited monument of Monfragüe National Park is the amazing castle, since you get an incredible panoramic view from its keep.Apart from the marvellous view of this great castle, you will also enjoys the legends with it keeps within its walls.

I invite you to visit this beautiful park and I would like to share my house with you, but we are many birds living on it. Luckily there are many places in which you could stay.

CHOZOS OF VILLARREAL DE SAN CARLOS:Formely, they were the places in which the shepherds resting. Nowadays, these "chozos" are availabe to anyone who wants to spend there some days.

RURAL HOUSES: In Monfragüe there is only one village called Villarreal de San Carlos. There are some Rural houses on there so, if you want to be in conctact with the nature this is the best option.

MORE RURAL HOUSES:There are lots of rural houses near Monfragüe. They are in other villages like Torrejón el Rubio, Malpartida de Plasencia, Serradilla...

So now, you know a little bit more about this incredible natural park. Although this presentation has finished, you can continue learning things about my life in Monfragüe clicking in the link beside me.

SEE YOU SOON GUYS !!!!

Nuestras 'Jornadas Virtuales' en La Gaceta

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
El IES Norba Caesarina, de Cáceres, ha organizado unas jornadas virtuales sobre su proyecto Erasmus + con sus socios griegos, noruegos y portugueses "mientras no podamos viajar", con el fin de "mantener viva la llama" del proyecto 'Patrimonio natural' y de la dimensión europea de la educación.

El primer día se hicieron las presentaciones por países de todos los centros educativos y ciudades. Después, el alumnado cacereño se presentó y se conocieron entre todos los alumnos y alumnas europeos "para romper el hielo", ha destacado la coordinadora del proyecto, Olga Martín Cobos.

Por su parte, el segundo día lo han dedicado a la realización de los talleres App Inventor, Web Page, QR Trees y eTwinning y terminaron con un Kahoot, para poner a prueba sus conocimientos sobre los países participantes.

La parte "más emocionante" ha sido el contacto entre los alumnos y "su deseo de seguir en contacto". Y, la más emotiva, "cómo hemos superado la adversidad de no poder reunirnos presencialmente y cuánto deseamos poder encontrarnos en persona y estar todos la próxima vez", ha relatado Martín Cobos.
