Spain (Andalucia), December 24-31, 2024




To escape the Christmas Rush we decided to seek out sun, sea and birds this year instead. We visited Andalucia, Spain
from December 24 to 31, 2024, focusing on 2 areas: Andújar (mainly for Iberian Lynx potential)
and Coto Dońana (for general bird watching). We succeeded on all fronts: blue skies, sun and about 18° C,
fantastic sightings of Iberian Lynx, Eurasian Otter, other animals and 115 species of birds.
It is not unlikely that our Christmas escape will be repeated in the future...

Wat een goed idee zo'n reis tijdens de feestdagen! Iberische Lynx is natuurlijk veel en veel mooier dan vuurwerkgeknal.
