Northern Tunisia's cork oak forest gives visiting birders access to woodland species that are difficult to find on desert-focused itineraries.
This private day route focuses on forest and edge habitat for Levaillant's Woodpecker, Atlas Flycatcher, African Blue Tit, Short-toed Treecreeper, Common Firecrest, Cirl Bunting and seasonal migrants, with nearby wetland or open-country stops added when useful.
The day suits birders who want a focused forest target outing from northern Tunisia, with pacing adjusted for photography, target species and current field conditions.
