Here’s a quick photo summary of some of the birds we watched down in Andalucia on one of my spring birdwatching tours.
Each spring we offer such small tour group holidays to go out in the field and see what bird species are arriving from Africa.
The close proximity of the two continents makes this one of the best places to watch concentrated avian migration and it really is a spectacular setting all throughout Cadiz province in southern Andalucia, Spain to learn about birds and bird behaviour.
