One of the best sites to see lynx, but carefully pick your dates and visit private estates for best views
Parque Natural Sierra de Andujar的点评
点评:Spent three days in the park looking at the wonderful birds and wildlife and especially the lynx. Its a strange nature reserve as much of the land you have no access to as its mainly private shooting reserves that are all fenced off. This means unless you go with a guide that has access to these estates you have to spend most of your time driving up and down the two roads : the La Lancha road which goes down to the dam or the road that goes down to the river. Our first day was with a guide Daniel at Naturoots who we highly recommend. The road is very narrow in parts and in really bad condition, huge potholes that have you swerving all over the road. We went in February coming to to end of the main lynx watching season.. However there were still a lot of people there and even when you see a lynx, you are surrounded by lots of other people and their cameras. The views across the valleys are stunning though and we saw so many imperial eagles , golden eagles , little owls and fallow and red deer, Highly recommend that you take a guided tour that takes you on a private reserve where you get to watch these beautiful creatures on your own. On our first day we saw 3 lynx: one on the public road and two on an estate. Second day we again travelled down this road no lynx sightings ( but apparantly missed a lynx crossing a road by minutes.) We drove all the way down to the dam where we spotted ibex whilst we were exploring the abandoned La Lancha village. Next day we went down to the river to look for otters ( unsuccessful) but we had a lovely walk along the river and sat on the rocks in the sunshine enjoying the peace and quiet before driving up to the Sanctuary of the Virgin Mary. Would go again maybe for a weekend and book to go both days with a guide to get the best chance of seeing a lynx, and book for Dec/Jan the best time to see the males out and about looking for the females
翻译:在公园里呆了三天,观赏美妙的鸟类和野生动物,尤其是山猫。这是一个奇怪的自然保护区,你无法进入的大部分土地都被围起来,主要是私人射击保护区。这意味着除非您跟随可以进入这些庄园的向导,否则您必须花费大部分时间在两条道路上上下行驶:下行至大坝的 La Lancha 道路或下行至河流的道路。我们的第一天是在 Naturoots 与我们强烈推荐的导游 Daniel 一起。部分道路非常狭窄,路况非常糟糕,巨大的坑洼让你在路上转弯。我们是二月份去的,当时主要的山猫观赏季节即将结束。但是那里仍然有很多人,即使您看到山猫,您也会被很多其他人和他们的相机包围。山谷的景色令人叹为观止,我们看到了如此多的帝王鹰、金雕、小猫头鹰、小鹿和马鹿,强烈建议您参加由导游带领的私人保护区之旅,在那里您可以观赏到这些美丽的生物靠你自己。第一天,我们看到了 3 只山猫:一只在公路上,两只在庄园里。第二天,我们再次沿着这条路行驶,没有看到山猫(但显然错过了几分钟前穿过马路的山猫。)我们一直开到大坝,在那里我们在探索废弃的拉兰查村时发现了野山羊。第二天我们去河边寻找水獭(没有成功),但我们沿着河边散步很愉快,坐在岩石上沐浴在阳光下享受宁静,然后驱车前往圣母玛利亚圣殿。可能会再去一个周末,并预订这两天的导游,以获得看到山猫的最佳机会,并在 12 月/1 月预订最好的时间去看雄性和寻找雌性
