We ran two Wallcreeper tours, one from the 6th to 9th November, and the other from the 13th to 16th November. Both were a great success in terms of the birds seen, and client satisfaction, or so they told us!

Admiring the views on the Winter Wallcreeper Tour

We’ll be running a final Wallcreeper Tour to mark the end of the winter 2022-2023 season in early March 2023. We’re studying the possibility of extending it from 4 days to 5 days, in order for us to get a better chance at the steppe species, which should include Great Bustard, both sandgrouse, Mediterranean Short-toed Lark, Dartford Warbler and maybe even early migrants such as Spectacled Warbler, Great Spotted Cuckoo, Egyptian Vulture, etc.
