Photographing Little Bustard: centred on the birds of the drylands of Lleida - Birdinginspain.com
Description
Trip duration: 3 days / 4 nights.
A photographic trip in the drylands of Lleida especially for bird photographers keen on photographing the Little Bustard and other species of the drylands.
The relatively unknown steppes of Lleida are one of the most unique habitats in Catalonia. They are home to plants and animals which are absent or scarce elsewhere in Europe.
The trip’s target birds have all adapted well to the poorly productive and seasonal dryland environment. As such they are species which breed only in the drylands and nowhere else.

- Main species: Little Bustard Tetrax tetrax.
- Additional species: Hoopoe Upupa epops, Bee-eater Merops apiaster, Little Owl Athene noctua, Roller Coracius garrulus, Lesser Kestrel Falco naumanni, Montagu's Harrier Circus pygargus
- Other interesting birds: More than 30 species photographed from our fantastic pool hide at Montsonís
