Private Elba and Tuscan Archipelago Raptor Birding with Giorgio Paesani
Private birding on Elba and the Tuscan Archipelago with Giorgio Paesani, focused on raptor migration, island habitats and Mediterranean birdlife.
About this tour
Explore Elba and the Tuscan Archipelago on a private birding day with ornithologist Giorgio Paesani. The outing combines Giorgio's knowledge of raptors and small islands with a route chosen for the season and the birds guests most want to find.
Elba is a useful watchpoint for seasonal movement through the archipelago. A day may include raptor viewpoints, coastal habitat, Mediterranean scrub and rocky slopes, with attention to local and migrant birds. European Honey Buzzard, Western Marsh Harrier, Eurasian Sparrowhawk, Eleonora's Falcon, Audouin's Gull, Corsican Finch, Moltoni's Warbler, Mediterranean Flycatcher and Yelkouan Shearwater are among the listed priorities.
This is a flexible private format rather than a fixed group departure. The route and pace respond to weather, access, recent observations and guest interests. Current availability, meeting point, vehicle or ferry arrangements and price are agreed for the requested date.
