Since getting back from Gibraltar migration has really got going. A few mornings with the net up in the garden produced a few Willow Warblers, Chiffchaffs, Blackcaps, Goldcrest and one of these.
A nice male Firecrest. It’s the first for a while since the wintering birds all disappeared from the Garden.
Radipoles still hosting several Garganey and today and 3rd calendar year Iceland Gull popped in on a few occasions. Typical gull shot at Radipole... on the car park!
I still have some holiday pics to go up so here’s the last of them....
Firstly some gulls chasing raptors. A common sight a Gib! Osprey first then a 2nd cal year Short-toed Eagle.
A gorgeous male Lesser Kestrel at Castellar de le Frontera. A great place to visit If your ever in the Cadiz area.
The three commoner Harrier species seen on the trip. Ropey pics of a Hen, Marsh and Montagu’s Harrier (all males).
A Thekla Lark taken whilst we should have been watching Bonelli’s Eagle...
And finally, the commonest sight of the trip. Me and Steve drinking tea and beer...
