Information about the meeting: We will meet at the Venta El Navasillo on the main San Pedro to Ronda road (see map). Those arriving early can grab a coffee and breakfast. From here we will enter the National Park Sierra de las Nieves and bird our way to the high car park at the Cortijo Puerto de Quejigales, also keeping an eye out for flora. We will take lunch back at the Venta El Navasillo (or if you prefer bring a packed lunch). After lunch we will bird the area from the venta to Igualeja, good for raptors and a few mountain bird species. The object for the day will be to record as many bird species as possible for the event ‘Global Bird Weekend‘ and record our sightings via eBird. For a message from the Society’s Patron on this global event see here.
Clothing and food: It may be cool/cold so bring suitable clothing. Lunch can be taken at the local Venta or bring a packed lunch, your choice.
