A Short-toed Eagle soars over Lanjaron as another wonderful month of birdwatching rolls on… We continue to focus on the highlights of our recent day trip today and it’s the turn of one of our most impressive seasonal visitors to take centre stage. The Short-toed Eagle Circaetus gallicus is always a welcome addition to our [...]
Short-toed Eagles, Southern Grey Shrikes and dazzling Bee-eaters, another remarkable day of birdwatching as the Alpujarran summer rolls on! It’s Monday morning, and the Birdwatchalpujarras team are off out with a client today, exploring the hillsides around Lanjaron once again. Another great chance to share our fantastic range of local habitats with a birdwatcher new [...]
With the season in full swing our wonderful summer migrants are continuing to return to the Alpujarras every day…and the birdwatching is just getting better and better. As always our birds of prey have centre stage. The Short-toed Eagle has been back in the region for a few weeks now…readers of our posts will know [...]
With March nearly over the birdwatching is improving every day…as summer migrants continue to return from African wintering grounds. This includes of course some of our birds of prey, and Kiersten took these terrific shots over her house earlier today. Our first Booted Eagle of the year! Fantastic photos and a great year first for [...]
It’s a bright Wednesday morning, and the Spanishhighs crew are off to explore the hillsides and walking trails of the Lecrin valley. I’m coming along for the birdwatching of course…with migrant summer visitors arriving every day it was a nice chance to check out a new patch. We headed out into the hills and valleys [...]
Just a quick note today to bring everyone up to date with the bird of prey news. As we wait for the first migrants to start returning from their wintering grounds in Africa, it would seem that there’s still a place for Buzzards on our local patch. Kiersten took this great shot over the valley [...]
Finally! On the very last day of what’s been a rather bleak January I find myself with a bit of time on my hands and it’s a leisurely stroll back to Lanjaron for me, a welcome chance to enjoy a bit of sunshine and catch up with what’s out and about as I follow the [...]
It’s half way through the month…a good time perhaps to take stock and bring you all up to date with the bird of prey news from around our base of Lanjaron. With no break in the wonderful weather we’ve been having it seems a little odd to talking about “winter” but the end of the [...]
With the end of the month upon us the offer of a couple of days work has taken me up the mountain above the village, and I’m back on my favourite patch on the hillside once again. I learnt to keep one eye skywards early on during my time up here…with beautiful views down towards [...]
It’s a sunny Monday morning and the birdwatchalpujarras crew are on an away day. The offer of a walk up the Rio Verde valley with a friend down in Otivar had got Kiersten, Richard and I on the road nice and early, and I was looking forward to a drive through what I had been [...]
