It’s another bright August morning, and the birdwatchalpujarras team are off on another day-trip on the hillsides above the village. Clear blue skies promised another sunny summer day…so to avoid the worst of the heat we made an early start, and with our new friend Ian on board we headed off on our favourite track [...]
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.

Let’s take a closer look at our latest shots of one of our most spectacular [...]
It’s Friday morning and it’s a big day for Birdwatchalpujarras…my new colleague and birdwatching partner Kiersten and I have got Gerry and Chris out with us for the day, two widely travelled and very keen birdwatchers over from Manchester for a week of sunshine in Lanjaron. With a full day to work with we’re hoping [...]
With bad weather through the week had to make the most of the weekend…headed off on Sunday up the hillside to the east of the village, hoping for the best.
