Tarifa August 2006

[Kamikazi PL]

Greetings!

In August I’m going to do some birdwatching in Spanish city of Tarifa. What kind of birds can I see there at this time of year. Can you recommend some web page with pictures of Spanish birds?

Thanks in advance,
Kasia

I have never been there at that time of the year but maybe a PM to John Butler might help you. There isn't much about that part of Spain that John doesn't know about.

I was there in September '97, extremely windy place especially for camping, so windy that people do go crazy living there.

You should get a good selection of migrant raptors. Hopefully I will also as I will be going there in September, well that's the plan. You could get lucky and see half the migrant birds of western Europe passing through. Anything is possible in Tarifa during migration time.
