With no sign of much needed rain it’s still bitterly cold down here in the Alpujarras, but some of our local year-long residents continue to put on a display right through the winter months and are still showing well on the hillsides just outside the village. Regular readers of our posts will recognize the striking [...]
We start the new month with more shots of two of our favourite local species – the Black Wheatear and the Sardinian Warbler. With some of our more colourful summer visitors now absent for the winter, the bold, black and white plumage of these year-long residents is always eye-catching at this time of year and [...]
We had guests on board today as we once again headed off up the mountain, to get a good, end-of-the-month look at what the local hillsides have to offer at this changeable, busy time of the year. We ended up having a thoroughly good time today, and managed to put some interesting local favourites on [...]
The second week of September is upon us, and Kiersten and I headed out on familiar tracks up the mountain today, to catch up on seasonal arrivals and departures on the hillsides around the village. What we got was a fabulous day of birdwatching, with a couple of real surprises along the way. Our first [...]
It’s the start of a new week, and the birdwatchalpujarras team are off on a day-trip to Sierra de Lugar. It’s been a while since we visited this productive local patch and with our friend Andreas on board for the day we’re hoping to add a few interesting species to his holiday tick-list! The secluded, [...]
It’s the first week of July, and with some new birdwatching friends all the way from Denmark the birdwatchalpujarras team are once again out on a day trip on the hillsides above Lanjaron. With a few of our local favourites on the wish-list for the day we headed for the first of some likely locations…and [...]
It’s the start of another week, and we’re off out again with guests for the day. We hoped the sunny hillsides around the village would bring us a few summer favourites…and we were soon on our way up the mountain once more. Black Wheatear showed well on rocky outcrops above the road as we headed [...]
It’s Friday morning, and the Birdwatchalpujarras team are off out with a client for the day. We’re meeting our new friend Val in the village of Canar, with plans to take the mountain track up to Puente Palo, a favourite drive that will take us through a number of different habitats and hopefully bring some [...]
Kiersten’s out on the road once again, driving guides and clients into the mountains with the Spannishhighs team. With a spare couple of hours there was time for some birding too today, and she headed for the craggy gorge at the foot of Sierra de Lujar. A favourite birding location at any time of year, [...]
It’s late in the afternoon, and the Birdwatchalpujarras team have spent a distinctly breezy day out at the wetlands of Padul with a group of clients. With some daylight left, we had the chance to fit a final quick challenge into the day: could we possibly find our new friend Karen a Blue Rock Thrush? [...]
