On the 16th June myself along with David Bradnum and Howard Vaughan flew out of Gatwick airport to Seville for 3.5 days of birding dawn till dusk. We started the trip at Laguna La Mejorada which is just south of Seville for
Western Olivaceous Warbler and
Rufous bush-Robin- which are very smart! Before heading over the border into Portugal where our base was in Mertola. We chose this site as it was close to another of our target species
White-rumped Swift. With
Spanish Imperial Eagle,
Black-winged Kite,
Red-necked Nightjar,
Black-bellied Sandgrouse,
Eagle Owl,
Rock Bunting, Blue Rock Thrush, Calandra Lark, honestly birds are everywhere in Portugal.
So for now, here are some images and hopefully when I do get more time I'll share some more info/images of a really good trip.......
