Birding Trip in Sierra Morena, Spain

A 1-day Sierra Morena Birdwatching in Andalucía Trip which is leisurely paced and will take you to this picturesque mountain range in the North of Andalucía. The area contains excellent examples of typical Mediterranean vegetation on a 400km mountain range. This is home to Cork and Holm oaks, and Sweet Chestnut trees that form forests in the more humid areas.

On this birdwatching in Andalucía you can aspire to see species such as the Black Vulture, Black Stork and Griffon Vulture. There is also a good chance of catching a glimpse of that most famous Spanish mammal, the Iberian Lynx. The wood-pastures on the western side of these hills serve as grazing areas for the famous Iberian black pigs.

"I went on a one-day bird watching tour to Doñana with a group guided by Manu Mojarro. It was one of the best day's bird watching of my life. Our guide was brilliant; engaging, extremely knowledgeable and able to 'find' birds in an almost magical way. As a result we got wonderful sightings of numerous species, both common and uncommon. Stand out sighting was a close up of a Fan-tailed Warbler." - Malcolm Millais

In summer, expect to see Redstart, Quail, Black-eared Wheatear, Booted Eagle, Short-toed Eagle, Bee-eater, Melodious Warbler, Subalpine Warbler, Iberian Chiffchaff, Great Spotted Cuckoo, Black Stork, Spotted Flycatcher.

On 25th September 2018 I went on a one-day bird watching tour to DonaÃ±a with a grouop guided by Manu Mojarro. It was one of the best days bird watching of my life. Our guide was brilliant; engaging, extremely knowledgeable and able to 'find' birds in an almost magical way. As a result we got wonderful sightings of numerous species, both common and uncommon. Stand out siting was a close up of a Fan-tailed warbler, not a rare or stunning looking bird, but it's rare to get such a view. Although DonaÃ±a is a world-famous bird watching destination, our visit was made special due to our guide. Highly recommended.
