You do not have to be an expert, but it is important to have good binoculars and to have a strong interest in learning, little by little, to identify the different types of birds. You will be able to see species as the little egret, black-winged stilt, glossy ibis\u2026 and the star of the Ebro Delta Natural Park, the flamingo.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #54bab7;\"><strong><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-352\" src=\"https:\/\/deltebre.cat\/turisme\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/asterisc_ok.png\" alt=\"BIRDWATCHING\" width=\"33\" height=\"28\" \/>BEFORE YOU START<br \/>\n<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-391\" src=\"https:\/\/deltebre.cat\/turisme\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/punt-1.png\" alt=\"punt\" width=\"33\" height=\"28\" \/>When?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The best seasons to birdwatching are spring and autumn, when the weather is better, and the rice fields are filled water.
