A group for all those interested in discovering birds and nature in Madrid. We will meet regularly to explore sites within and close to Madrid and look for some of the amazing species that inhabit this part of the World.

After a nice summer break, we will meet in El Pardo for an easy walk up the river to the Mingorrubio area. This area is fantastic for river species such as Kingfishers, woodland species like Hawfinches and Lesser Spotted Woodpeckers, and many raptors, including Spanish Eagles.
We will meet on the Puente de Capucchinos at 9am, and head up river. Bring water, comfortable trainers, binoculars and a hat in case it is warm. I will bring the telescope to allow us clear views of some of the birds.
El Pardo is easily accessible on public transport from Madrid on buses 164 and 179 for example. I am sure some people heading up in cars will also be available to give rides.
There will be a 5E voluntary contribution as always to cover Meet Up Costs.
Hopefully see you then! Jonty
