ASIAITC LION LODGE

Recommended by Mittal Patel

You can give yourself a nice treat from time to time and this place is an ideal restaurant for that. It’s very popular in the whole area, including a large part of the Spanish towns and villages bordering Portugal. It’s located on the plains of Elvas and Campo Maior, a good area for steppe birds, specially Black shouldered Kite. Between Elvas and Badajoz, in the Caia River, there is a small population of obispo coronigualdo (Euplectes afer), very interesting for the most list orientated birders. Excellent quality/price value. A meal may cost around 35€ per person, excluding drinks. They select different kinds of shellfish from all over the world. It’s difficult to recommend a dish but the ‘camaraos tigre’ (tiger prawns) are delicious and the ‘sapateira’ (crab) is also lovely, or the grilled halibut that is …brutal!

RESTAURANTE EL CRISTO

Bar Centre has a quiet atmosphere. The furniture is from the 70’s, however the bathrooms have been recently remodelled. They specialise in bocadillos (sandwiches) with the bread known ‘pan de pages’ (enormous traditional local bread) with good meats from the area (butifarra – a type of sausage and one of the most important dishes of the Catalan cuisine; pork loin; sausage; fuet – a Catalan thin, cured, dry sausage of pork meat in a pork gut) They cook a nice and original bocadillo made of an omelette filled with cold meats. Good quality/price value.

Scotland: next to Fife Ness and Denburn Wood, both very good places for seawatching and searching for autumn rarities (Yellow-browed, Hune’s and Pallas’s Warblers among others). The Eden Estuary is 30 minutes’ drive away. Good qulaity/ price ratio taking into account the high price of U.K. accommodation from 70 € for a double with a generous breakfast. Excellent attentive service, very welcoming. Everything is very clean, modern furniture, impeccable.

COLSTONCRAIG B&B

Recommended by Lonely Birder

Thalland: one of two campsites in the Kaeng Krachan Nacional Park, the biggest in the country and the best for forest birding in terms of quantity and quality of species. It’s worth spending a night here for its excellent location right in the midle of the park. The birding is fantastic in the campsite itself and a small radius around it, so you can spend a day or so exploring the immediate area. At night the party continues, with Long-tailed and Great Eared Nightjars overhead at dusk and up to six species of nocturnal raptor including White-fronted Scops Owl. The installations are very basic, it’s really just a space where you can put up your tent. There are some make-do bathrooms and a canteen where you can get something to eat. The menu is very limited and nearly all dishes are rice-based (as is the norm in Thailand), so its recommended to bring food with you from outside the park. Many birders opt to bring a stove and make their own food. For those who prefer travelling without a tent, you can hire one cheaply at the park headquarters. At night the canteen staff normally through leftovers out behind the […]
