    The friend who saw the Painted Lady back along a while saw a Comma in his garden yesterday. he's very good at keeping Butterfly counts and says he has never recorded Comma in February previously. Locally in N Devon I saw Water Boatmen today.

    [Fiji, Taveuni] Separating Silktails

    I was on Taveuni in early 2003, On a walk down from the transmitter I saw a Silktail, but back then (even with the guidebook) I wasn't aware that there might be 2 species. It wasn't long after a tropical hurricane had gone through the islands so perhaps that might be how they may get displaced?

    Please ID - Cadiz province, south of Spain

    The first one does indeed seem to be a lark. Crested? Thekla? Woodlark? The 2nd could well be a Pipit. And with those bold chest blotches, is it perhaps Red-throated?

    Last Butterfly of the Year 2023

    Just enough warmth to encourage a Speckled Wood, and later a Red Admiral out foraging.

    Bird Song Identification Southern Spain

    Pity we didn't meet - I've just come back from Jimena (a hot 10-day hol). Many years ago, by the road down to the river I heard and then saw a Lovebird sp in some eucalyptus. Didn't sound anything like your bird though! I found the birds hard to come by this year, The oppressive summer heat...

    Birdwatching in Straits of Gibraltar & La Janda

    Sorry to see this thread largely abandoned! Had 10 days in Jimena de la Frontera a couple of weeks back. It was still hot - 29 degrees most days and 32 on a few. But that's nothing compared to the 44 degrees in the summer. Some small rain a few days before I arrived did little to relieve the...

    My modest collection of Owls was boosted by Brown Fish Owl in Turkey, and the star prize of Pel's Fishing Owl in Botswana- both in 2015 I think
