Andalucía, a vast region of wide open spaces, has an abundance of wildlife. It is a birdwatcher’s paradise, especially in the spring, as it lies on one of the main migratory routes.

Just a few minutes from any town or village and you are in the wide open countryside and if you keep your eyes peeled, you never know what you might see.

Bird on a Wire

GoldfinchPerched on a telephone cable one morning in Woodley, Berkshire, was this goldfinch. I half, or probably more than half, expected it to fly off but he didn’t, he just viewed me with curiosity as I clicked away on the camera. More

Blooming good all over town

Nerja MedinaUrbanisation Nerja Medina on avenida Mediterraneo/calle Mérida not only has some very nice apartments, but also a magnificent array of vegetation both in the gardens and the open areas.

The urbanisation is a labyrinth of narrow, well maintained pathways lined on both sides with colourful blooms of one sort or another.

Makes a pleasant place to wander. More

It was there, so….

Feeding time

After the swifts had made two morning passes, pausing to feed their young nesting in the window shutters of almost every apartment, it was time for the martins to come out to play.
