21 September 2024
“Seen Final Week” goes again as we speak to 7 September for my finest images of the WINGS Spain in Autumn birding tour in southern Andalusia. Some websites are missed fully within the slideshow as a result of my images have been awful.
Scenes embody:
- The salt pans at Sanlucar de Barrameda the place we noticed shorebirds and flamingos.
- An exquisite cat watched us eat dinner in Sanlucar. Its refined colours jogged my memory of my cat Emmalina.
- Nice day of hawk watching on 10 September at El Algarrobo and Cazalla.
- Views of the Strait of Gibraltar, Tarifa and the Torre (watch tower) de Guadalmesi.
- On daily basis went birding at early as attainable. Scorching shiny solar. No rain. Temperature reached 98°F some days.
- Cattle usually current on the grime roads the place we appeared for birds.
- Dry, dry, dry landscapes, even within the mountains.
- View of Montejaque, one of many Pueblos Blancos (White Villages) close to Grazalema.
- Scenes from Ronda the place the cliffs surrounding the city are steep! (No I can’t get close to that railing)
- Spain is the world’s 1st or 2nd largest producer of olives. Olive groves in every single place.
- Dried lake mattress with a little bit of salty water is an efficient place to search for flamingos close to Fuente de Piedra.
- Slim streets in Osuna as we stroll to dinner on our final night time collectively.
Wind energy is BIG in Spain as seen on this video of wind generators close to Tarifa. Throughout heavy fowl migration some generators are turned off to stop collisions with hawks and storks.
