Spain, May 2012 - Lammergeier, Steppe birds, and lots more
Hey all,
I have a three day / two night trip booked with Catalan Bird Tours in Spain from Saturday, 26th to Monday, 28th May 2012. They can accommodate one or two more birders if anyone's interested in sharing costs (I certainly am! ). I'd be very keen to extend it to a four day / three night trip, too, and am flexible on the extra location.
Check the site:
http://www.catalanbirdtours.com/spain birding migration.html
The current itinerary is (but as I said I'd be keen on a fourth day to pick up any missed targets or even visit a new location such as the Ebro Delta):
Day One: Llobegrat wetlands and Garraf Massif for Bonelli's Eagle, Penduline Tit, Collared Pratincole, Red-necked Nightjar, migrants, etc.
Day Two: Steppes for bustards, sandgrouse, Dupont's Lark, raptors, Great Spotted Cuckoo, Roller, etc.
Day Three: Pyrenees for Lammergeier, Alpine Chough, Citril Finch, Rock Thrush, etc.
I notice another birder from BirdForum, apbarr, has posted this on another thread,
"I'm just back from a shared trip with Stephen and can recommend his tours. He is very knowledgeable and good company, the packed lunches are also very good. I fully intend another trip with Catalan Bird Tours in the future."
So, if you're willing to join me, drop us a line. For more details, you can contact Stephen Christopher directly via his website - www.catalanbirdtours.com - or PM "Stephen C" on Bird Forum."
Cheers,
Sander
