Benefits of booking with an expert bird watching guide

EXPERT LOCAL KNOWLEDGE

The Ebro Delta is a vast area (think 320 square Kilometers) and as such can be a daunting prospect to tackle without a specialist. Al has been living in this region for 20+ years and has gained an intimate knowledge of the delta in all the different seasons. As a result, our expertly designed bird watching tours take you straight to the zones that will offer optimum chances of seeing all the most spectacular sights, along with the possibility for rarities. This includes locations which are away from the beaten 'tourist track', where many unique opportunities await. Our boat tour of the Ebro, in particular, will provide you with a unique opportunity to see some of the best birding areas which remain completely inaccessible to the public.

FULLY EQUIPPED TOURS

We have all the equipment necessary to get you great sightings of the birds. A Hawke Endurance ED 20-60 x 85mm spotting scope will accompany us on all our birding tours, which provides excellent optical performance and light gathering even in over cast conditions. 


Our tour vehicle is a large 7 seat SUV Peugeot 5008, fully air conditioned and with advanced grip control for soft or slippery surfaces.


We also offer the boat tour on our privately owned 6m Carolina Skiff, which is fitted with a 60Hp Honda outboard for reliable performance. We have also custom fitted a transom mount Minn Kota battery powered electric motor which allows us to drift in a controlled and silent manor towards riverside birds - great for photography and observation alike!
