About this book

Language: Spanish

Did you know that in the community of Madrid more than 300 different species of birds can be seen throughout the year? And that every winter thousands and thousands of birds, like ducks and other water birds, go to winter in this area? And that some of the best places to observe birds are very close or even in the city of Madrid itself? And that the community houses important populations of endangered species such as the Iberian imperial eagle, the black vulture and the common bustard? And that, despite being far from the sea, in Madrid up to 18 species of different seagulls have been observed? And that in this area bird species have been observed that are considered very rare, with very few observations in all of Spain?

This guide includes a wide variety of recommendations for the observation of birds in the community of Madrid, divided into 12 chapters, one for each month of the year, and is aimed at:
- birdwatchers in general.
- families, groups and novices.
- birdwatchers interested in rare birds and rarities.

The book also includes:
- A list of 200 places of ornithological interest, cited in the text, with their coordinates.
- Nine practical regional maps, showing detailed locations of all recommended sites.

It is an ideal guide for all birdwatchers, offering a wide selection of specific sites of ornithological interest in the community of Madrid, spread over the twelve months of the year, with the aim for people to get to know, enjoy and value the great variety of birds present in this area.
