Best time to spot birds in the mountains: Dawn and early morning
The best time to go bird watching in the Sierra de Bernia and the Montgó Natural Park is during sunrise and the early morning hours . If you are passionate about nature, the hiking routes and cycling excursions that you can take in the inland areas of the Costa Blanca North will surprise you.
In both the Sierra de Bernia and the Montgó Natural Park, during the early hours of the day and until mid-morning, birds are more active looking for food and singing their morning songs. In addition, the soft light of dawn makes bird watching and photography easier. Among the species you can spot, we highlight:
- Birds of prey: Bonelli's eagle, peregrine falcon, eagle owl, kestrel…
- Small birds: robin, tit…
Practical tips for bird watching:
- Arrive early: Early morning hours are best for seeing a greater variety of birds.
- Bring binoculars: They will help you observe birds from a distance without disturbing them.
- Keep it quiet: Birds are sensitive to noise, so try to move and talk quietly.
- Wear neutral-colored clothing: This will help you blend in better with your natural surroundings.
You will surely enjoy your excursions and bird watching inland on the Northern Costa Blanca.
