The Delta del Ebro is one of the most important geographic features of the Spanish peninsula. The beauty of the landscape just adds to its immense environmental value, thanks to the richness and variety of the local flora and fauna. The Delta del Ebro International Ornithology Festival, the Delta Birding Festival, offers a wide and varied programme of activities and events at MónNatura where you can enjoy getting close to all the local birds and nature, a must-see event in the world of ornithology.

MónNatura, the Delta del Ebro’s very own research centre, will play host to a range of conferences, courses, workshops, competitions, guided tours and even a fair on ornithological products and services, making it a must for all you bird lovers. Some of the highlights of this year’s programme include:

Activities for children, digiscoping, identifying birdsong, building nesting boxes and a whole lot more will complete the programme at the Delta del Ebro International Ornithology Festival.
