What else do you need to come?
Bird watching and ringing
Spend a day in the company of scientists and enthusiasts watching the ringing process in order to study birds, learn about their routes and, above all, care for and watch over the different species, including the hardest-to-see or endangered species. There are many specialised centres in areas such as Delta del Ebro, the marshlands of Doñana or the Albufera of Valencia.
Kayak bird watching
Another way to spot them is from new places, for example, by kayak, a different experience for all those passionate people who had not considered it until now.
Birdwatching and photography
Another alternative plan may be to capture the birds through photographs. For this, you can participate in activities where you are given specific material to photograph them, since powerful optics are needed to frame the birds you are looking for. Who knows? Maybe you can catch a bearded vulture in the Pyrenees.
