Where to Watch Birds in Northern and Eastern Spain

The accounts are illustrated by detailed maps and beautiful line drawings of selected species.
Where to Watch Birds in Northern and Eastern Spain includes comprehensive coverage of all thirteen autonomous regions, a descriptive list of all the resident, visiting and rare birds to be found, as well as advice on watching seabirds from key sites like Estaca de Bares. This edition provides better coverage than ever to one of the most popular birding destinations in Europe.
