But there are some parks that, in addition, have the peculiarity of being on the banks of little streams, like for example the linear park that is in the area near the station. There live garden plants and trees typical of parks and vegetation of wilder environments. This nearness to natural habitats makes possible that "different" species can be observed. That’s the case of the hedge accentor (Prunella modularis). The hedge accentor breeds in mountain areas, but during the cold moths they move to lower zones with softer temperatures, and it is during this time when we can observe them and, more commonly, listen to them in the field.

Algunas aves las puedes encontrar casi en cualquier parque,
como son las urracas, los petirrojos y los colirrojos tizones. Aquí podemos ver

Some birds can be found in almost any park. These are for example the magpies, the robins and the black redstarts. Here we can see the colour differences between a male and a female.

La lavandera blanca también es un habitual invernante, que
recorre el suelo de nuestros parques con simpáticas carreritas, buscando y
persiguiendo bichitos a los que da caza para alimentarse.
The pied wagtail is also a common wintering bird, which seeks the ground of our parks with graceful runs, looking and chasing insects, on which it feeds.

Por último, la vegetación del arroyito, da cobertura para
refugiarse rápidamente a los esquivos zorzales comunes.
Finally, the vegetation of the little stream gives shelter to the shy song thrushes, which run away quickly.
