Local Birding
Our monthly birdwalks take place the 3rd Sunday of every month and are open to all birders, beginning and
experienced alike. Join our expert birders who will help you to explore and know the birds of San Miguel. We bird in locations along the Rio Laja or other riverside habitat, where the diversity of birds is greatest and the changing beauty of the countryside delights.
We’re happy to arrange private birdwalks to suit your schedule and interests.
