    Another 4 from Extremadura

    A few more from Spain. The Rollers were the main purpose of us going to Spain. I finally caught up with this pair just past a village named Torreorgaz where they have put nest boxes up for them on electricity poles. As the area is lacking in cover I finished up laying in some long grass for...

    Photo's from Extremadura, Spain. Part 2

    The first 2 pics of the Golden Oriole's took me 12 hours of sitting by the tree. We stopped at a campsite for an overnight stop. I had seen Oriole's in other parts of Spain but not close enough to get a decent photo of so I was well pleased when I heard these magnificent birds 30 yards from the...

    Photo's from Extremadura, Spain.

    The last time I posted on the Beeb was from Spain in May promising to show my photos taken in Extremadura. Sorry for the delay, I think it must be due to a prolonged bout of depression caused by the weather. Is it my memory or what?. I can't remember a summer that has dumped so much rain or was...

    A few photos from Gigrin Farm, Wales.

    Hello folks, I've finally got round to posting a few pics from Gigrin. Took me a bit of time to sort out some half decent ones from the 650 photos taken.

    Algarve ID PLEASE

    This was taken at Pedras del Rey on the Algarve in Portugal last month. It was around the size of a Cockateel. I expect it's an escape or has it flown over from Africa. Not a good pic as it was a fair distance away. Thanks. Jim.

    I'm back for some more ID's please. All the photos were taken near Caceres, Spain. Are the 2 larks the same species. Is the 3rd pic a bunting of some kind and the 4th. I give up on that. As you can see I'm not too good on the ID front. Thanks. Jim

    Extremadura, Donana & Algarve

    My better half and I have just spent the last 5 weeks birding in Spain. As my wife is disabled some of the top spots especially in the Donana National park had to be missed out due to the dodgy roads so we stuck to birding from the camper van and were amazed how many different species that we...
