Things to be aware of,-

DECEMBER, JANUARY, FEBRUARY, MARCH 

At this early time of the year it can be cold and damp in the early mornings and in the evenings, so if you are intending to take in the early morning trip to find a "Displying Male Houbara Bustard" you will require warm and waterproof clothing,  but the sun can get very hot during the day so bring along your sun cream.

Birds of interest seen.  

 we visit all the major inland sites at least twice each week, the spieces seen each day vary from 28 upwards to our best day of 45 spieces. .

It is good to see the Houbara bustard displaying at dawn  from mid December, through January, February, until mid March, and such a veriety of other birds seen on other sites throughout the year are Little Egrets, Great Egrets, Gray and Purple Herons,Cootes, Little ringed plovers, Ringed plovers, Kentich plovers, Fuerteventura Chats, Stilts, Black-winged Stilts, Ruddy Shelducks, Marbled Ducks,Greenshanks, Redshanks, Pied Wagtail, White wagtail, Gray Wagtail,Trupeter finchews, Houbara Bustards (and Displaying Males), Creamed Coloured Coursers, Plain Swifts, Pallid Swifts, Spoonbills, Black-tailed Godwits, Southern Gray Shrikes, Spanish Imperial Eagle,White-tailed Eagles,Common Buzzard, Long Legged Buzzard,Ravens, Barbary Partridges, Sardinian Warblers, Blackbelliedsand grouse, Stone curlew,Kestral, Lesser Kestral, Linnets, Lesser Short toes Lark, Sky larks,Berthelot´s Pipit, Sardinian Warbler,Spectacled Warbler, Whitethroat, Golden Eagle, Booted Eagle,Bonelli´s Eagle, Egyptian Vulture, Montague Harrier,Hen Harier, Marsh Harier,Greater Spotted Cockoo,Yellow-Browed Warbler,as well as the more common birds of the Island.
