Activity 1: Eradication of invasive flora and tree planting
1 / 6
Today you’ll learn more about the impact invasive plants, trees and weeds can have on Andalucía’s natural environment. Cleaning, tidying, and maintaining the nature reserve is part and parcel of the work, alongside planting native trees, shrubs, and water plants.
Activity 2: Training on species of fauna to be found within the reserve / Bird count field work.
1 / 6
After a short training session, you’ll soon be able to tell your white-headed duck from your red-knobbed coot as you head out into the field armed with a clipboard and binoculars. Counting bird species is vital field work at the nature reserve and with your help the team can start to complete their current census.
Activity 3: Nest boxes
1 / 6
It's time to channel your inner Blue Peter presenter as you get creative with recycled materials and turn your hand to bird box building. With the lack of hollow trees and with issues caused by modern architecture, some species of birds are having trouble building nests in this region of Andalucía. The plan is for your homemade bird boxes to help birds and owls find a safe a suitable place to breed.
Activity 4: Maintenance works
1 / 6
Strengthen your practical skills or learn some new ones as you develop awareness of habitat management techniques. After some first-aid training, there will be a variety of jobs available including fence fixing, boardwalk treating and tending to bridge repairs. Absolutely no experience is necessary, and, with your help, the nature reserve’s natural habitats will be fine-tuned to encourage new and existing wildlife to thrive in and around the wetlands.
Activity 5: Bird counting
1 / 6
It will have been a week since the last census. Using the techniques you've learned, you'll be asked to repeat the count and examine the results to see if there's been any change in the dispersal of bird species, general behaviour and migratory patterns.
Activity 6: Bird ringing
1 / 6
Bird ringing – You’ll be learning how to capture birds with nets today (this won't cause them any harm) and identify them by hand. All the data collected will go towards further scientific studies and will be submitted to the SEO (the Spanish equivalent of the RSPB, a branch of Birdlife International). Bird ringing is a hands-on activity and provides plenty of interesting scientific facts and practical information relating to conservation.
Location
)
A wilder, more rustic side of Andalusia can be found on the Costa de la Luz, where the pace of life is slower than in some of the tourist hotspots. El Rompido is a peaceful fishing town set at the mouth of the Piedras River. A string of cafes and restaurants line the waterfront and there is a small, town square with a traditional, whitewashed church. There are several well-signposted walking trails from the hotel into the protected nature reserve. The nine-mile route takes you through marshlands, pine forests and shifting sand dunes. The nearest bus stop from the hotel is 110 yards away. The drive to/from the airport takes approximately one hour.
Out and about
A complimentary shuttle service runs to the city of Seville and the Portuguese town of Tavira (alternate weeks), both of which showcasetraditional Moorish architecture, atmospheric cobbled streets, and a variety of museums and galleries.
Seville
Discover the historic Andalusian city of Seville. Perhaps see the Plaza de España and nearby Maria Luisa Park, the Paseo de las Palmerasand the ancient district of Triana across the river, birthplace of ‘sevillana’ flamenco music. There is also a Gothic Cathedral and the Giralda, a 12th-century bell tower that was formerly a minaret from an old mosque. Other highlights include the 14th-century Alcázar, built as a royal residence and still used by the Royal family, located in the Barrio de Santa Cruz, the old Jewish quarter of the city.
Tavira
The little city of Tavira is located on Portugal’s Algarve coast. The cobbled streets of its historic heart are home to over 30 ornate churches and traditional Portuguese architecture. Perhaps take a stroll along the banks of the Gilão River, which is crossed by a Roman bridge.
