Well where do I start
I have to admit I know Richard Hanman very well. (and he is one of my close birding friends and managing director of BBC) I have co-lead and also been part of the groups / assisted the visits to Spain, and Portugal, and International destination's. Don't get me wrong it's not for the faint-hearted. It can be dawn till dusk birding but that is really up to you if you fancy a chill out day with rest and relaxation by the hotel swimming pool its no problem,
But what you DO get is BIRDS.
Giant Kingfisher
And birds in abundance and not just a glimpse of distant treetop birds or the back end of a bird disappearing from view, Its upfront and in your face, you really do get up close without disturbing them, see my photos.

With a comprehensive list of local guides and spotters who are connected to each other they research the areas before your visit, you get to see the most difficult birds on your list easily,

without these connections, it would be almost impossible to view these hard to see birds,
I have no hesitation in recommending any of the Bargain Birding Bird Club Trips.
