Birdwatching
Andalucian Guides
Birds migrating across the Straits of Gibraltar in early spring and autumn run into millions, not simply thousands! We are privileged on the Costa de la Luz to be in one of the most spectacular areas in the world for watching migratory birds. We have the opportunity to watch Black and White Storks, Booted and Short-toed Eagles, Marsh and Montagu’s Harriers, Honey Buzzards and Bea Eaters, soaring the thermals to Africa. And there are experts on hand to help us enjoy the experience. Stephen Daly offers birding holidays, as well as guided wild life day trips in the area.
