Hi everybody, sorry that I have not blogged for a while.
We decided that, because of the bad weather we would return to the UK. We hit snow about 20k south of Madrid, it was so bad that we could not get on a pitch at a site outside of Madrid on the night of the 11th. On [...]
It,s Sunday 10th. Yesterday was nice and sunny if a little on the cold side in the wind, some good birding. No consulation for those of you suffering from snow and freezing conditions, however, the temperature here is 13 degrees below average. An indication that the extreme weather is Europe wide.

We returned to the delta, a different part, to find some Glossy Ibis, of which there [...]

On Friday we decided to visit Barcelona, not one of our better decisions. It is a typical huge urban conurbation with a mass of human beings all trying to occupy the same space. We paid forty two euros for a tour bus, it was crap. The commentary was poor with no real orientation, abandoned it [...]
