Madrid Bird Watching

A new site for the Bird Watching group, and a spot where there are lots of interesting species to be found! Recently there have been Flamingos and Avocets at this wetland, and the surrounding vegetation should have Cisticolas, Wagtails and lots of other interesting species. So with luck we can have a great morning.

We will meet at 8:30 and walk for a few hours. I'll bring the telescope to hopefully allow us nice views of waders and raptors. As always, bring water, sturdy shoes and clothes suitable for the variable weather.

The location is difficult to reach with Public Transport, so sharing lifts is probably the best way to get there. I have 3 spaces in my car from Alameda de Osuna for example.

There is a 5E voluntary contribution as always to cover Meetup costs. Contact me on 638135998 to be added to the whatsapp group and if you have any questions.

This is a trip designed to see some of the 'Specialities' of the Madrid region - Spanish Eagle, Black Vulture and Great Bustard (Avutarda). There should be lots more, though, especially birds of prey!

We will meet at 8:30am at the "Ermita de la Virgen del Espino" - a small church between Daganzo de Arriba and Fresno de Torote. Here there is plenty of parking.

This trip is possible by public transport and we can also share lifts as a group. I can take 3 people from Barajas (contact me 638135998).
The walk should last about 2 - 3 hours and will be on easy terrain. Still, as always, bring some comfortable shoes and water.
I will bring a telescope to allow crystal clear views for all, and, as previously, guiding is done in English and Spanish.

There is a voluntary 5 Euro contribution to cover MeetUp costs. See you there! Let me know any questions on 638135998
