THE TOURS

We are passionate about the area and it's birdlife. We offer guided tours in 4x4 transport in small groups to ensure we get the best the region can provide. Recent days have brought great sightings of Eagle Owl, Goshawk and Iberian Yellow Wagtails. There is always something fantastic to see!

OUR WEBSITE

You will find much information about our tours and birdlife on this site. Also we report any news or frequent sightings. Much of the site is "interactive" and we encourage you to assist with any information you can provide.

THE BIRDS OF THE ALPUJARRAS

Our resident raptors include Golden and Bonelli's Eagles and these are joined by large numbers of Booted and Short Toed Eagles over the breeding season.

All three of southern Spain's "exotic" species, namely, Hoopoe, Rollers and Bee-Eaters, breed locally and are seen regularly. Golden orioles nest in and around the village. Chats and Thrushes include the Northen, Black and Black Eared Wheatear. Black Redstart and Blue Rock thrushes.

Other seasonal visitors of note include Great Grey and Woodchat Shrikes, with Subalpine Warblers in the spring.

Local woodland brings frequent sightings of Crossbills and Crested Tits. Firecrests are another local speciality.
