BIRDING – GRAND TOUR

BIRDING

UNESCO Sites are many things, but they are certainly, above all, about birdwatching. Birdwatching is an activity that continues to grow, and more and more enthusiasts are travelling in search of their favourite species or those they have never had the chance to see. And, of course, there is plenty to go round here, in both quantity and variety.
