Reforestation at Palheiro Golf During your visit to Palheiro Estate you will notice a huge amount of clearing and new plantings consisting of indigenous species such as Til, Barbusano and Loureiro. The program has been funded by the European

Rare Sparrowhawks Nesting This medium-size raptor depends on it’s native habitat of the laurel forest. It is an endemic subspecies of Macaronesia which occurs only in Madeira Island and five islands of the archipelago of the Canaries - Gran Canaria, Tenerife, La Palma, La Gomera and El Hierro. Due to its rapid flight and elusive behaviour it is difficult to observe, and it is more active during the breeding season (February to July). The female is larger and has a grey-brown belly whereas the male is reddish-brown.

Although only 9 nesting pairs have been officially identified in Madeira,

they have been spotted nesting in the trees of Palheiro Gardens.
