Short-toed Eagles were very much in focus this week as I came back to Andalucia after visiting Scotland and 'giving away' my lovely eldest daughter Hannah to her new husband Johnat a great Scottish wedding at Aberlady
There were a couple of Short-toed Eagles seen close to Tarifa
Fishermen on the coast at Guadalmesi. The tracks and country roads are becoming a bit tricky to navigate after the rains
Marsh Harriers are very much the most abundant raptor in the La Jand area
Lesser Kestrels too are around in La Janda and in the white villages or 'pueblos blancos'
Looking down to Gibraltar with the Moroccan coastline behind 'The Rock'
Fan-tailed Warbler or Zitting Cisticola
The main collector canal at La Janda has lots of Purple Swamphens
Huge flocks of Calandra Larks gather to feed during winter
Black-winged Kites are very easy to see in La Janda and all along the inland countryside from Tahivilla to Jerez
We saw a few Booted Eagles and it's common for these birds and other raptors to winter in Cadiz province. This one is an intermediate form
Vejer de La Frontera
There are also a lot of Black Storks here and they will also stay with us during the winter
A Black-necked Grebe with those lovely bright red eyes!
