Birds
We consider the main target birds for birders visiting the Pyrenees are the Wallcreeper, Lammergeier, Citril Finch, Black Woodpecker, Snow Finch and the Alpine Accentor. Regular sites for these are covered within the birding program but together we will encounter many other speciality birds in a variety of habitats. The last birding trip (September 2007) recorded 102 species, details of which can be found over on our birds page.
