5.0 out of 5 stars Birding in Andalucia, October 17, 2006

By	RH (California) - See all my reviews

Birding in Europe? Why travel across a continent when many of the European species migrate through a tiny corner of Andaluc�a twice each year, Consider ordering this excellent site guide to the southern coast of Spain. The Gibralter Migres is irresistible to birders. Using this book as your primary birding site guide, a birder might theoretically be able to find up to 200 European and African species in a week without traveling more than about 70 miles from the Jerez airport.

From Southern Spain (Tarifa)you can see the rugged Atlas Mountains in Africa about nine miles across the Strait of Gibralter. The 40 minute ferry to Tangiers offers an opportunity for African birding. This ferry to also offers two short pelagic trips across the Strait of Gibralter. Tens of thousands of pelagic birds seasonally transit this area, in and out of the Mediterranean. Pelagic species are also commonly observed from strategic points (like the Tarifa seawall and Trafalger) that are described in this book. I only wish that this book also covered nearby Morocco.

Note that there are both a 2001 and a 2004 edition on the market, I have not seen the newer edition.
