Birding the Strait<\/strong> is a Travel Agency<\/strong> based in Tarifa<\/strong>, a beautiful town located in the southernmost point of Spain and continental Europe. Because of its location, right in the middle of the Strait of Gibraltar<\/strong>, it is one of the best sites in the world to enjoy the raptor migration<\/strong>. It is no secret that it also has some of the best Birding in Andalucia<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The company was founded by Javi Elorriaga<\/strong> and Yeray<\/strong> Seminario<\/strong>, bilingual ornithologists turned birding guides<\/strong>. They have extensive experience in ornithology <\/strong>and nature conservation<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n Javi and Yeray shared a passion for birds and wildlife photography<\/strong>. Javi coming from the Basque Country and Yeray being native of the Canary Islands, they had spent more than a decade birding in Andalucia. Particularly, they both loved the Strait of Gibraltar. This is no surprise, as they are life-long learners who are fascinated about the year-round bird migration between Europe and Africa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Consequently, they settled in Tarifa as local birders<\/strong>. After being friends (and neighbours!) for a few years, and after some time guiding birding trips independently in the Strait of Gibraltar as Tarifa Birding Tours<\/strong> and Whitehawk Birding<\/strong>, they joined forces. As a result, Birding The Strait was born.<\/p>\n\n\n\n After birding and exploring Andalucia and the rest of Spain extensively, then it came the fascination about Morocco<\/strong>. This country is completely different when compared to Spain: for its culture and history, as well as its natural history and its birds. Morocco is a prime birding destination<\/strong> and being so close to Tarifa, it was only natural that Birding The Strait started organizing Birding Tours in Morocco<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n As birding guides and main persons for Birding The Strait, everyone at Birding The Strait strive enthusiastically to make every trip a most<\/strong> rewarding experience<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In addition to guiding birding tours in Spain, Morocco and other countries, they put their local knowledge to good use. Both Javi and Yeray are reviewers for eBird<\/a><\/strong>, and contribute to several conservation projects<\/strong> in Spain as part of the Business Social Responsibility<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\nA company born while Birding in Andalucia<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
