We have just got back from a week in Extremadura, and have written a report with pictures, on one of our web pages.

We have been to Extremadura twice before and loved it. Lots of the moorish tracks to walk, flowers in Spring and of course lots of birds. Both previous visits were "just" holidays for us. Since taking up digiscoping and joining Bird Forum about six months ago, we went this time for a closer look at the birds.

Hope you enjoy our report

Great report and photos Malc. You certainly got yourself around in a week and visited some great areas, the rewards are of course some great pics and lots of good memories.

Shame about the camera but it should still be under guarantee.

Best wishes for your next trip.

Golden, Booted, Short-toed, Bonelli´s and Spanish Imperial Eagles.
Griffon, Black and Egyptian Vultures.
Eagle Owls.
Lesser Kestrel.
Great and Little Bustards (Plenty of each).
Pin-tailed and Black-bellied Sandgrouse (Plenty of each).
Great Spotted and Common Cuckoos.
Stone Curlews.
Alpine Swifts.
Thekla Larks.
Black Storks.
+ lots more

A trip report will be uploaded on my website tomorrow (Sunday) evening for anyone that is interested.

Great report and pictures. A fantastic area and it reminded me of my holiday last March. I seem remember Belen as being pretty narrow without roadworks, but there again so are most Spanish villages.

Extremadura & Doñana

Dear all,

As well as John Butler I have just to return from a new trip with groups this time into Extremadura (1-4 April) and Doñana (4-7 April) and a part of all the species mentioned by John I just to mention the unsual weather we had during the whole week (yesterday in El Rocio only 4ºC at 8:30!!) which made to miss some species present in previous years such as Roller. However, the birding in both region was great as usual and so far, until I finish the corresponding trip report, I hope you find interesting the attached and very recent pics.

Have a very enjoyable trip,
