<\/p>\n\n\n\n


Catalonia is a wonderful place for bird watching \u2013 and we mean of the feathered variety! The incredible, picturesque delta plains and nature reserves of Terres de l\u2019Ebre have over 350 species of birdlife for you to discover. If your Spain vacation rental is in this region and you are a keen ornithologist, then don\u2019t forget your binoculars as this area will be right up your street!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Els Ports mountain range flanks the\nRiver Ebre as it meanders down to the delta and the sea. Keen observers can\nview rice fields, salt marches and hundreds of pink flamingos \u2013 almost unheard\nof in the western Mediterranean. The birdlife is unrivalled with rare species\nwaiting to be discovered among the flora and fauna. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Andouin\u2019s Gull is one of the rare nesting\nbirds which can be found along the delta, a greater number you are unlikely to\nsee anywhere else in the Mediterranean. The Black Wheatear, Squacco Heron and\nBoneli\u2019s Eagle also inhabit this area of Spain. Other rare and exotic birds you\ncan expect to see around the Terres de L\u2019Ebre delta include: the red-rumped\nswallow, collared pratincole and the slender billed gull which first bred in\nthis area. They can easily be discovered at the channel mouth, on the saltpans\nand along the bays.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition to birds if you head up to the Els Ports mountains where you will have the opportunity to explore caves<\/a>, peaks and gorges which are home to wild boar, otter, roe deer and some Spanish Ibex. You definitely don\u2019t want to visit here without binoculars or your camera. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If your travelling<\/a> party includes keen photographers and bird-watchers, then this is the ideal place for all of you.  Research the wildlife areas and reserve your villa in the Costa Dorada,<\/a> you will have all of the rare species, natural beauty and wildlife right on your doorstep. Make up a picnic, fill up your backpack and get ready for the natural adventure <\/a>of a lifetime.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
