"I attended already two tours guided by Carles Oliver - Big Catalonia/Spain loop and Morocco. Carles is one of the best birdwatchers that I have met in my life, excellent observational skills and encyclopedic knowledge of all birds in the region. Thanks to him my bird list was full of lifers after each of the trip. Moreover, Carles is very nice with people and keeps everyone smiling and in a good mood the whole trip. Highly recommended!" - Tomas Baldrian
