Arranging a visit to Extremadura

Why We think Extremadura is an extraordinary and fascinating place and would hope to share some of our enthusiasm for the region with its birds, natural history and also its human history.

Who Most of our trips are designed for birders who have a broad general interest in birds and their ecology rather than for for the twitcher whose main motivation is the accumulation of ticks. Additionally we cater for photographers who wish to target the local specialities using hides.

What for Apart from the wonderful range of birds - see "Species" - It has the best Roman monuments in Spain, vast and beautiful open spaces unique in Europe, and friendly and hospitable people.

How All group trips are in the company of our local guides. For photography sessions we take you out to the hides before first light.

When Spring (Feb - May) is the most popular time but autumn and winter can be excellent too - see the section "When to visit". We have organised weeks at various times. Outside these times (apart from the height of summer), small groups or individuals are welcome as "Independent Birders" - see "Booking a trip"

Where We work out of Orellana la Vieja, by the Orellana reservoir. This is at the heart of the irrigated wetland area, and close to the last remaining steppe in Western Europe with its unique ecology.
