Birdwatching in Tarifa and Gibraltar - The best raptor migration in Western Europe

Audouin Birding Tours - Birdwatching in Spain - Local trips in the Ebro Delta and Ports - http://www.audouinbirding.net/

The Strait of Gibraltar is one of the busiest migration points in Western Europe during the autumn, and millions of birds gather every year in the southern part of Spain to rest and forage before continuing their journey southwards to their African wintering grounds. The raptors constitute one of the most remarkable groups on the move during this period, and almost all the Spanish raptors can be encountered, along with several other specialities of the area.
