Thank you so much to everybody who looked at this picture, very special for me, and thank you too for the great comments posted!!! o:)

I had a terrific weekend, even if the weather was quite unfriendly, but we did the best we could. We found many good birds and snapped away to them, although my results are not brillant. Still, I tell you that birding in such a wonderful company as Mike and Carol's is a treat!!! o:) Thank you to you both for the great weekend!!! :t: :loveme:

Marian,

Carol and I would like to thank YOU for a most enjoyable weekend spent with you in the Picos de Europa area. As you have said, the weather was not kind to us, but with your local knowledge and experience we did find some good birds and butterflies. It was our first visit to northern Spain and we returned home with happy memories.

Mike.
