Arrive in the Eifel and meet Leo for the weekend plan. Depending on timing and conditions, use the first field session for nearby Red Kite or forest bird opportunities and a briefing on the next day's photography plan.
Spend the main full day working selected Eifel sites for Red Kite and Eurasian Nutcracker. The field plan is adjusted to light, bird activity and access, with time for observation and photography rather than rushing between locations.
Use the final morning for any remaining Red Kite, Nutcracker or forest bird opportunities before departure. Leo confirms the exact end time and route based on weather and guest travel plans.
