The "Classic southern Spanish birding tour" visiting two of the richest birding areas in Europe.  On this spring tour, we cover a rich variety of landscape and habitats travelling from the mouth of the Rio Guadalquivir in Huelva province’s Atlantic coast, to the Rio Guadarranque that flows down from the sierras to the Mediterranean.The Doñana National Park, which we will visit during the first 3 days, covers almost half a million acres and is one of the most important wetlands in Europe and is home to an abundance of wildlife, in particular resident and migratory birds. The unspoilt Costa de la Luz,  will be the area where we will spend  the next four days, exploring the very best birding sites inland. Travelling across into Cadiz province there will be opportunities to visit open farmland, irrigation canals and lakes including the Laguna de Medina near Jerez de la Frontera. No trip would be complete without a visit or two to the Miradors over the Strait of Gibraltar to watch incoming flights of Griffon and Egyptian Vulture, Red and Black Kite, Booted Eagle and many more.
