Several lesser crested terns at Palmones today amid very strong winds.
I appologise for not posting on here lately as I have a problem with my heel which makes walking difficult.A friend of mine did a survey of the birds seen at La Janda on Wednesday this week with the following results.
Common cranes 950
Spoonbills 55
Bonneli´s eagles 5
Great egrets 2
Long leeged buzzard 1
Osprey 1
Magpies 2
Black winged kite 2
Kingfisher 5
Black stork 1
Peregrine falcon 1
In addition bluethroat,reedbunting and a male quail were heard.
A provisional tally from the recent Andalusian survey on Ospreys,which I am pleased to have been a part of,reveals that 130 ospreys were seen and recorded on the 19th December 2015 throughout Andalusia.
Well done to everyone who took part.We will repeat this again on the 9th January 2016.
Kind regards and a Happy Christmas and a birdy 2016.......Eddy
