Sierra Morena of Seville Natural Park
The Sierra Morena of Seville Natural Park is an ecosystem of exceptional value where the Mediterranean pastureland is at its finest. Recognised as both a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve and a Global Geopark, the park is one of the most important and biodiverse birdwatching destinations in southern Europe.
With a recorded inventory of over 230 bird species, we offer a professional birdwatching experience throughout the year:
- Paragua species and Mediterranean gems: a habitat for large scavenging species and birds of prey, such as the Iberian imperial eagle, the black vulture and the elusive black stork.
- A mosaic of ecotones creates a unique array of ecological niches harbouring a rich avifauna of specialist and rare species.
- Seasonal dynamics: a constantly changing landscape. From the activity of the breeding season and migratory passages to the wintering period when the pastureland provides vital refuge for thousands of birds from Africa and Europe.
Beyond Birdwatching
Our trips offer a holistic view of the ecosystem, delving into key disciplines for the advanced naturalist.
Wildlife tracking: interpreting signs and reading tracks at critical points. We analyse behaviour and ecology by tracking their presence across different habitats.
Geology of International Significance: an immersion in the history of the Earth through the UNESCO Global Geopark. Cambrian fossils and the limestone formations that sculpt the current landscape of the Sierra Morena are two examples of the subjects studied.
Specialised botany and orchid flora: A living catalogue featuring over 30 species of wild orchid. We study their complex biology, pollination strategies, and distribution across the park’s microclimates.
