My wife and I have just returned from a great short stay just south of Antequerra in Andalucia. What a great place- we saw a number of first time birds- Rock Bunting, Purple Heron, Crested Lark, Black Redstart, Griffon Vulture, Gull billed tern and remade an acquaintance with Flamingos at Fuente del Piedra, although sadly the water levels were low and consequently only about 200 birds were present, accompanied by a black winged stilt.
Of note was a mystery bird that only sang as it was getting dusk with a full bodied in your face song. Difficult to describe but a bit like a Cetti's warbler in character but it wasn't. We caught sight of the bird once and it was thrush sized. It was always in the same place in some scrubland close to houses. Any suggestions gratefully received.
many thanks
