Malaga area 31st March-8th April 2008
- Lots of Robin, Blackcap, Blackbird, Wren and Blue Tit. Eventually we tracked down what we were looking for - Iberian Chiffchaff, two singing birds with their ‘peculiar’ metallic song. Overhead a nice Booted Eagle...Bob Swann reports.
Andalucia
/ Coto Donana 24th May-June 6th
2007
- The marismas
salt water lagoons ,close to the Atlantic shore were attractive
to Terns and Gulls,small groups of Caspian Tern fished there
along with Gull-billed, Common, Sandwich and Little Terns,a
few pink flushed Slender Billed Gulls also roosted on the shore...Derek
and Lynne Lister report
Cadiz Province (based in Alcala
de los Gazules) Feb 2007
- The Slender-billed Gulls would
have been a suitable adornment on any Gay Rights march since
they sported amazingly bright day-glow pink bodies. There was
clearly some interspecific competition going on here as they
were in open competition with the flamingo’s to see who
was the most pink...John Cantelo reports.
Andalucía
and Extremadura May
2006
- I have long wanted to bird in southern
and central Spain, and persuaded my girlfriend, Laura, that
we could combine a relaxing holiday with a few excursions out
to see certain species which I had not seen before...Nick
Crouch reports
Southern Spain May
4th-7th May 2006
- There were a few species that I was
keen on seeing – most notably Western Olivaceous Warbler
and Common Waxbill that would be additions to my Western Palearctic
list as well as reacquainting myself with White-rumped Swift,
Little Swift and other Iberian species...Richard
Bonser reports.

Andalucia 12th
- 22nd September 2005
- Though the raptor migration proved
less spectacular than in the past - perhaps due to the
at times gale force easterly winds - we nevertheless saw
three Ruppell’s Vultures, a Lanner Falcon and eight
Black-shouldered Kites...Ian Kinley reports

one important target bird - White-rumped Swift....Andy
Hall reports.
Andalucia 14th
-23rd September 2004
- There were plenty of highlights in a very
enjoyable ten day trip. Raptor watching was more exciting than
ever at Tarifa, pick of the bunch being Ruppell's Vulture and
juvenile Spanish Imperial Eagle. Finding a Lesser Crested Tern
at Los Lances also came high on the list.....Ian Kinley
reports.
Andalucia 1st
to 14th October 2003
- There were many highlights in two bird-filled
weeks but perhaps the abiding memory will be of a spectacular
concentration of thousands of Glossy Ibis, storks, egrets, waders
and gulls packed into one wet rice field at Isla Menor...Ian
