Very early in the morning, before leaving Iwik, sail to Tidra Island aboard a rowing boat and observe with your binoculars the great waders as well as the flamingoes and grey herons. You can also follow the flight of the terns and other seagulls, or watch the great pelicans taking flight, but you must do this when the tide is in as that's when most of the birds are around.
