Hi,
I would like to open this thread trying to help and share information on birding/Nature watching in Western Andalucia, including the coastal marshes in Huelva and Cádiz provinces, Doñana area, Tarifa/Straits of Gibraltar and Córdoba provinces.
This area is huge and hides beautiful corners and bird species. Some of them are difficult to find without being a native speaker naturalist. Local knowledge and watching conditions are essential to get the best of this territory.
Just to give an idea, today there are more than 4.000 STE and thousands of raptors near Tarifa or La Janda waiting for the east winds to calm and fly across the Straits and tomorrow will be the day to be there!!! Now in the Guadalquivir marshes there are unusual rare birds to see: Pectoral Sandpiper, Buff-breasted Sandpiper or American Golden Plover!!! Would be a pity to have been just aside the lagoon or the saltpan where they are without being informed!!! :t:
Hope this helps for a better knowledge of our beloved land, and maybe learn some Spanish words, :-O
Saludos
Jorge
