WINGSPAN BIRD TOURS offer a variety of exciting bird-watching day trips and accommodation in Andalucia, in Southern Spain. We are based in the beautiful pueblo blanco of Gaucin, in the heart of Andalucia. We are minutes away from fantastic scenery, beautiful landscapes and fabulous birdwatching.

We cater for everyone, we are flexible on dates, times and itinerary, we offer relaxed, easy going tours that are designed with you in mind. We appreciate that you are on holiday and are here to relax and enjoy.

We charge just €50 per person per day and that includes a door to door service, a picnic lunch and a checklist of all the wildlife you are likely to see.

For our week long tours Wingspan's bird-watching holidays are committed to the value for money - small group ethos, which has formed the basis of our business from the outset and because of that we remain considerably cheaper than our competitors. To keep our costs down we do not produce glossy brochures, we are soley internet-based.

Full Description:

Wingspan is hosted by Bob Buckler a life long naturalist and an experienced birdwatcher with over 30 years of field study under his belt and over 17 years tour guiding experience. He has travelled extensively in Spain, France, Morocco and Greece and made birding trips to parts of the USA, Canada, Israel, Egypt, The Gambia and the Balearic Islands.
