Coo, that's pretty impressive. Sure your wife wasn't chucking out sausages or something?
I've been lucky to have had Geranium Bronze (quite regularly) and Two-tailed Pasha (once or twice) in my (very small) garden in Jimena de la Frontera.
Lucky you didn't tell me before you had a house there ...you'd have had a gate crasher :-O
I seem to remember the first time I had GB I put a pic of it on Birdforum and had quite a quick reply. I've seen 2 Tailed Pasha in the Cork oak forest and up above Bolonia near the White-rumped Swift cave. My garden has also had Swallowtail, Scarce Swallowtail and Monarch, mostly attracted to the Lantana.
Some terrific migration - A very long time since I've witnessed anything like your raptor passage. Great stuff.
Cheers
Mike
Still not found Chameleon, must try harder.
Try Rota since, as Jos found, they're a doddle at the Celestino Mutis botanical garden...

Had two on our autumn trip last year, one at Laguna de Tarelo on a fence next to the car (around the back of the lake, not the hide) and this one in rather different circumstances on the road down from the cheese farm along the road from Bolonia.Still not found Chameleon, must try harder.
Then may I remind you, Mike, that you still have a standing invitation to stay in our little cottage in Alcala de los Gazules ......
