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 [...]
It’s the first day of November, and the birdwatchalpujarras team are off with a group of clients to the wetlands at Padul. After a rather wet and blustery weekend we’re crossing our fingers and hoping for some improvement in the weather, and looking forward to seeing what this rich piece of habitat has to offer [...]
With the month rolling on we’re making the most of the October sunshine and are off up the mountainside above Lanjaron. Although many of our summer visitors have now headed south for the warmth of African wintering grounds there’s still plenty to see, and there’s always the chance of something new and unusual… As ever, [...]
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 [...]
It’s the first week of June and with many of our seasonal migrants back for the summer, its time for me to take a walk down into the valley below Lanjaron to see what’s going on “in the backyard”. Even this close to the village the birdwatching can be spectacular, and there is always something [...]
Thursday morning…and I’m off with a friend to El Torcal Nature Reserve. Located about 30km north of Malaga near the town of Antequera, the area boasts one of the most impressive limestone landscapes in Europe. Highly eroded, surreal rock formations provide a fascinating backdrop and with fantastic views out towards the coast and a unique [...]
Working in the sunshine again today, and I’m up on the hillside just outside the village of Lanjaron. Chaffinches , Blackbirds and Great Tits provided most of the background chatter, but some old favourites still managed to give the day a Mediterranean twist… We crossed a small stream on the track this morning, and a [...]
After working up on the mountain yesterday I’m free to go birdwatching again, and I’ve got unfinished business to catch up on. I’ve been really keen to complete a circuit around the ridge below the village, and I’m off to finish the walk I started two days ago. I had a nice day-list on Monday, so [...]
With work commitments filling my time for a few days, it’s been down to Kiersten to keep Birdwatchalpujarras out on patrol, making sure we’re up to date with what’s going on on our local patch. With the summer season drawing to a close, it’s nice to see some familiar residents still showing well. Some nice [...]
