Serres de Cardó – Boix

This foundation rescues mistreated or injured wild animals and, if possible, returns them to the wild. When this is not possible, they are homed in the zoo, which also offers educational activities such as guided tours, bird of prey flying displays, experiences with owls and photographing birds in captivity.

This initiative is based in an abandoned village that has now been restored for ecotourism, with photographers’ hides, photography courses and workshops and a rural home offering tourist accommodation (Casa Felip). The hides overlook a feeding station, allowing photographers to capture spectacular images of golden eagles, bearded vultures and other scavengers.

Sikarra Nostra provides guided excursions in Les Terres de Ponent to learn about the natural heritage and landscape of the Central Plateau. Activities include bird watching and identifying species from their songs, as well as experiences to discover the secrets of the fascinating world of insects.

Minerva Sellés has set up these hides in Vallbona de les Monges to allow birdwatchers to observe and photograph various species of birds at very close range. She also offers idyllic rural accommodation in peaceful surroundings (Cal Baster).

Rutes Muntanya offers half-day birdwatching tours in the Ebro Delta’s most representative habitats. The tours follow the delta’s labyrinth of paths, and combine birdspotting with explanations of features that go unnoticed by casual visitors: firework storage huts, drains, pumping stations, natural filters, traditional fishing methods, etc.

Excursions of one or more days, individually or in groups, to photograph the most iconic species in the region. They manage several fixed and temporary hides, specialising in birds in high mountain areas (such as the Casa Daniela hide for observing scavengers), hills and drylands. They also carry out projects to conserve endangered species.
