The EOT provides a bunkhouse, kitchen and showers for those engaged on weekend projects, as well as a library, maps and computers, a room for meetings and social gatherings, an outdoor pond and a hide for schoolchildren. The EOT lies at the hub of about a dozen outdoor observatories, carefully situated to view the best of spring and autumn raptor and stork migrations between Europe and Africa.
Cigüeña Negra's current projects and priorities are:
1-Counts of migrating raptors and storks during spring and autumn.
2-Counts of common cranes (grulla) wintering at La Janda, north-west of Tarifa.
3-Improving the breeding success of local montagu's harriers (aguilucho cenizo) by working with farmers to avoid nest destruction during the cereal harvest.
4-Introductory courses for those interested in becoming ringers.
