Thirdly, there are the green lands of Extremadura where forests, thickets and meadows form natural vegetation in which the nature parks of Monfragüe and Cornalvo are of special interest. Monfragüe nature park, which extends over an area of 18,000 hectares, shelters the most important examples of flora and fauna of the ancient Mediterranean forests. In Monfragüe, the skies are dotted with tawny vultures, black storks, golden eagles, peregrine falcons and Egyptian vultures. Fox, wildcats, badgers and especially lynx make their home in the forests. The flora consists of cork oak, holm oak, juniper and heather, as well as the typical rich vegetation of the river banks, such as willows and ash trees. Other nature areas that must be named are: the region of La Vera, the Jerte and Ambroz valleys and the Sierra de Gata, Las Villuercas, the Sierra de San Pedro, carpeted with cork oak and dense thickets; and in the province of <strong>Badajoz</strong>, Hornachos, Jerez de los Caballeros and Tentudía. Meriting special mention are the unusually large number of storks which form part of the Extremaduran landscape making their nests in some unlikely places – bell towers, rooftops, traffic lights, electrical towers and greeting travelers by clashing their beaks together. The more timid and elusive black stork takes refuge in the high cliffs of the nature reserves at Monfragüe and Cornalvo. Cornalvo, with an area of 10,750 hectares, is noted for its groves of holm and cork oak, as well as fauna which includes the black stork and imperial eagle, otter, wildcat, rabbit and to a lesser degree, lynx.
