Private La Janda Birding Day
Bird La Janda on a private full day along rural roads, channels, rice fields and seasonally flooded ground for eagles, storks and cranes.
About this tour
La Janda was once Europe’s largest inland wetland before much of it was drained for rice and cereal cultivation. Even after that transformation, flooded fields, channels and open farmland can still concentrate large numbers of birds and several scarce species.
Black Stork and Spanish Imperial Eagle are major possibilities, alongside Black-winged Kite and Bonelli’s Eagle; cranes, ducks and waders use wetter areas. Channels may hold Purple Swamphen, Great Reed Warbler and Reed Bunting, while tamarisks can support spring nesting groups of Cattle Egret, Night Heron, Glossy Ibis and Squacco Heron.
The route follows rural tracks and water channels, scanning both fields and sky. Seasonal flooding strongly influences where birds gather and which sections deserve the most time.

Day 1
Fields and channels of La Janda
Follow rural roads between crops, rice fields and drainage channels across the former La Janda wetland. Work seasonally flooded areas for ducks and waders, scan overhead for eagles, kites and storks, and check channel vegetation for swamphens and reed birds. Current water levels determine the most productive circuit.
