Birding
Northern Spain is a great place for observing birds because of its high density of different ecosystems and habitats. During our birding trips and guided tours in Asturias and Northern Spain, you get the chance to discover new high mountain range or coastal species.
Two of Asturias’ most iconic species are the Western Capercaillie (Tetrao urogallus) and the Bearded Vulture (Gypaetus barbatus). The number of Western Capercaillies rapidly declined in recent years. Resultantly, they are strongly protected. Access to their last breeding grounds is therefore restricted. The reintroduction of the Bearded Vulture in the Picos de Europa National Park, however, is successful. You can now observe this impressive raptor in several places.
Do you want to spot the Bearded Vulture? See some of Northern Spain´s other majestic raptors such as the Griffon Vulture (Gyps fulvus) or Golden Eagle (Aquila chrysaetos)? Or are you more interested in discovering typical alpine birds like the Wall Creeper (Tichodroma muraria)? Or perhaps you want to discover migratory birds along the Cantabrian seashore in spring or autumn?
Our birding trips and guided tours in Asturias and Northern Spain allow you to discover new species in the beautiful Northern Spanish nature! Below, we give some examples of our guided tours and trips. Looking for something specific? Or do you want to receive a customized proposal? Do not hesitate to send us a message!
