点评:Awesome trip!
We did the “Birding on Two Continents” tour. A week based around Southern Spain near Algeciras/Gibraltar and Northern Morocco along the west coast and up into the Rif mountains near Chefchouan. We were part of a group of 13. Ferry transfer across The Straits from Tarifa to Tanger.
Brilliant guides, delicious food, and superb birding. We visited migration viewpoints, great mountain and forest ranges, and excellent wetlands. Niki and Simon are experienced birders catering for specialist birders as well as more general nature enthusiasts. As well as the birds, we saw butterflies, amphibians and a large troop of Barbary Apes in Bouhachem NP (Morocco). The trip was well paced and comfortable (folding chairs for raptor watching). Good hotel/lodge facilities, especially Huerta Grande and Auberge Dardara. We’re vegetarian and this was easily accommodated.
Our personal highlight was the boat trip on the Merja Zerga lagoon (Morocco), where we got fantastic close views of many waders, terns and gulls - eg Slender billed & Auduoins Gull, Lesser Crested & Caspian Tern. Up in the mountains outside Chefchouan we saw the exquisite Moussier’s Redstart.
Unfortunately we missed out on the boat trip to see sea birds and cetaceans due to the strong winds during our trip, but the substitute trips were excellent.
Inglorious Bustards are clearly strong advocates of responsible tourism supporting local businesses and sustainability. Brilliant trip.

我们参加了“两大洲观鸟”之旅。为期一周,行程涵盖西班牙南部阿尔赫西拉斯/直布罗陀附近和摩洛哥北部,沿西海岸一路延伸至舍夫舒万附近的里夫山脉。我们一行13人。从塔里法乘渡轮横跨海峡前往丹吉尔。
导游服务出色,食物美味,观鸟体验也十分出色。我们参观了鸟类迁徙的观景点、雄伟的山脉和森林,以及绝佳的湿地。Niki 和 Simon 是经验丰富的观鸟者,他们不仅为专业观鸟者提供服务,也为普通的自然爱好者提供服务。除了鸟类,我们还在摩洛哥的布阿赫姆国家公园看到了蝴蝶、两栖动物和一大群巴巴里猿。行程安排合理,舒适惬意(提供折叠椅,方便观赏猛禽)。酒店/旅馆设施也很好,尤其是 Huerta Grande 和 Auberge Dardara。我们是素食主义者,所以这里很容易安排。
我们个人最难忘的是在摩洛哥梅尔贾泽尔加泻湖的乘船之旅,在那里我们近距离观赏了许多涉禽、燕鸥和海鸥,例如细嘴鸥和奥杜安鸥、小凤头燕鸥和里海鸥。在舍夫舒安郊外的山上,我们看到了美丽的穆氏红尾鸲。
遗憾的是,由于旅途中风很大,我们错过了乘船观赏海鸟和鲸类的机会,不过其他的替代行程非常棒。
无耻鸨(Inglorious Bustards)显然是负责任旅游的坚定倡导者,他们支持当地企业和可持续发展。这次旅行太棒了。
