'Mallorca Birdie' is the name of this new project, involving special offers and activities for bird-watching aficionados visiting the island. Most of them will take place during the off-season when the birds migrate, putting on a spectacular show.

The scheme, which is part of a wider plan to draw tourists to the Balearic island outside of the summer months, will be presented at the international Birdfair in Egleton (UK) which will take place from the 19th to the 21st of August 2016.

One of the first events to be organised by Mallorca Birdie is a Birdie Race, a bird-watching marathon in the stunning Serra de Tramuntana mountain range, as well as some of Mallorca's most interesting wetlands such as S'Albufera and S'Albufereta. Five international teams will compete against each other while discovering the island's wonderfully rich bird life.

Mallorca Birdie only confirms what we already knew, that the island is a prime destination for all the bird watchers out there. You can read our bird watching guide for more information
