This book covers the best birding sites in Andalucia, east of Gibraltar, including the mountains around Ronda and Granada, the plains around Lantejuela and Tabernas, wetlands and hills around Campillos, the lynx hotspot near Andujar and sites along the coast from Malaga to the Cabo de Gata. As ever, it describes exactly where to find the best birds including Red-knobbed Coot, Alpine Accentor, Spanish Imperial Eagle, White-rumped Swift, Great and Little Bustard, Audouin's Gull and many more. (The rest of Andalucia is covered in Finding Birds in Western Andalucia.)
Dave Gosney writes:
"When I revisited Andalucia in 2024, to update my 2009 book on the area, I was shocked to find that many species had become much more difficult to find, including shrikes, wheatears, redstarts, larks, bustards, pipits, buntings, sparrows, woodpeckers, harriers and, especially, Sylvia warblers. If you visit this area hoping to see these species you need to be aware that there are many former sites where they have either disappeared or become much more scarce. This book describes where I was still able to find them in 2024 as well as other difficult species such as Egyptian Vulture, Red-knobbed Coot, Marbled Duck, Rufous-tailed Rock Thrush, Bonelli's Eagle, Alpine Accentor and White-rumped Swift to give you the best possible chance of finding all the best birds of the area"
