This is an excellent habitat for watching birds typical of open or steppe landscapes.
The cereal fields and fallow land are feeding and nesting sites for some of the rarer and more threatened species, such as the little bustard (Tetrax tetrax), the Montagu’s harrier (Circus pygargus) and the European roller (Coracias garrulus).

They share their habitat with the elusive common quail (Coturnix coturnix), the red-legged partridge (Alectoris rufa), the white stork (Ciconia ciconia) and the crested lark (Galerida cristata).

The lesser kestrel (Falco naumanni), the booted eagle (Hieraaetus pennatus) and flocks of European bee-eaters (Merops apiaster) regularly fly over these landscapes in search of prey.

The few trees or shrubby areas that can occasionally be found in the marginal areas also attract other species of ornithological interest, such as the woodchat shrike (Lanius senator), the streaked fantail warbler (Cisticola juncidis) and the European stonechat (Saxicola rubicola).
