Birdwatching

Casa Aguila or "Eagle House" is an ideal holiday location for birdwatchers. 96 species have been recorded from the villa, including 15 birds of prey. Stone curlews nest within sight of the lounge and are heard every night.

The owner has been birdwatching in Menorca since 1971 and knows where to go and what to expect - almost anything on migration - experience that will be happily passed on to guests. His commentary is on the English version of the Birds of Menorca DVD, available via www.paleartica.com.

Sunrise in Spring, as seen from Casa Aguila. Nightingales and Turtle doves are singing, Quail and Hoopoes calling - maybe a Golden oriole, the start of another perfect day. Later, Booted eagles, nesting nearby, will be displaying over the Eagle House. Can you match these stunning Osprey photos taken by Gordon Swift, a regular visitor to Casa Aguila?
Some other birds common to the area include Black-winged stilt and Sardinian warbler.

Through the owner's contacts in Menorca, latest sightings and regular surveys from the wetlands in the Parc Natural are available.
