Andalucía’s fantastic geographical location makes for an ideal bird watchers and photographers paradise the whole year round, with large areas of Andalucía being zoned as natural parks allowing the bird populations plenty of natural habitats.
With 13 resident raptor species in Andalucía, as well as several that migrate here annually from Africa. The best place to see them is in the more mountainous parts of the province where they circle high in the sky riding the thermals.
At ‘Twitching Spain’ our week long birding holidays are tailored so that you get the maximum bird watching everyday, we take you and guide you to many different locations, these include Natural parks, mountain ranges and old passes, lakes and reservoirs, beach cliffs and valleys.
This way you get a chance to see lots of different species and some spectacular views of the Andalusian country side.
We only guide a maximum of 4 people on any one week that way we can give you our complete attention.
A lot of our viewing points are along the old donkey mountain passes and old smuggling tracks where people don’t normally go, these we access in our air conditioned 4x4’s but please note that these tracks can be a little bumpy but its worth it! This we believe adds to the whole holiday an adventure.
As well as having our own private hides that are located in prime positions and also have hides that are supplied by
http://www.ultimatenaturegear.com that we erect at different locations throughout the day, our 4x4 is air conditioned and painted in camouflage so we also blend in with the background and don’t spook potential birds and wildlife.
All of our accommodations are air conditioned and have sky TV and internet connection. My wife Janatha (a chef by trade) will prepare a picnic lunch and a good home cooked meal on our return from a day birding we also light up the barbecue on the Friday night so that you can chill out before your return journey.
