Not much time to photograph birds on the tour but here are few, there were very few Raptors about.

They are on migration from Central Africa to Spain Portugal and S France.

NO TIME TO PHOTOGRAPH BIRDS ... Clive, please ...

Fantastic photos as expected ... and I just love the White Stork (they are becoming a nuisance here now ... ) ... and I love the Cattle Egrets in the Date Palm ... they are also a nuisance here now ...

Thank you for sharing these wonderful creatures and sorry you were unwell at the end of your journey. xx

 

Nice pictures Strongy, they are all new to me, possibly with the exception of the kestrel and the stork, you dont see their margarine much these days.

Hope you have now gotten over the "two bob bits".

 

Well just a few!


Not yet Pete, didn't think it would take this long!

 

Thank you for sharing these beautiful pictures with us today Strongy and naming them all as well. So many are new to me too,

Alpine Swifts,an almost impossible shot to get with my camera flying at well over 100mph, much larger than our Common one which will arrive here mainly in May.
Any seen here would have overshot their destination by a few hundred miles!


The common Spotless Starling, glossy like ours but no spots, everywhere in Iberia and N Africa.


Comfort stop (in the rain!) and a Crested Lark was wandering around infront of me.
