Winter Weekend looking for Wallcreeper

Spectacular sites, charming accommodation, great food and wine and an interesting list of target species!

Join us for a fun weekend at the end of February visiting some truly spectacular sites to search for Wallcreeper. No promises, but we have a good track record on this trip and recent records are encouraging! There are plenty of other interesting species to see too, such as Iberian grey shrike and Great spotted cuckoo, Little bustard, Stone curlew and many more…

See full details on the trip page here.

So if you are itching to travel and see some exotic birds, but want to stay fairly close to home and keep your carbon footprint down – come by train and join us for a fun weekend of #lowcarbonbirding !

February Day trip around Ouveillan

BLDT02-21 Friday 19th Feb 2021 – Day trip birding around Ouveillan

Guide of the day: Karline Martorell accompanied by Philippa Benson
Participants: 6
Weather conditions: Very cloudy but no wind, temps ranging from 11°C to 15°C +
Highlights of the day: Stone curlew, Little bustard and Iberian grey shrike

As a great start to the day, we enjoyed watching a skydancing male Hen harrier on arrival,  excellent views of Stone curlew out in the open (followed by the wonderful sight of 50 or so in flight!) and superb light for a group of 13 Little bustard circling over our heads before landing in a nearby field. Capestang marshes added a good group of Greater flamingo and a fly-over of about 50 White stork. We rounded the day off with a tantalising glimpse of a male Moustached warbler! Not a bad day at all 🙂
