How to prepare?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Before our trip, We must document ourselves<\/strong> about the biology and behaviour of the birds we are going to observe, as well as the space in which we are going to carry out our activity. To be able to deal with possible setbacks, we recommend taking enough water, a thermal blanket or warm clothing and writing down the emergency telephone numbers or the telephone numbers of the protected space you are visiting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is important Wear comfortable clothing and shoes and avoid brightly colored clothing<\/strong>Green or brown colors will help us go unnoticed. If we expect rain or a lot of sun, don't forget a raincoat or cap.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
