 Someone shouted "Great Bustard"
The objective of our March 2013 Field Meeting was to find Great Bustard. One of the areas where you are most likely to see this species in Andalucia is in the farmland around the town of Osuna, in the province of Sevilla. Due to bad weather we had to pospone the original meeting earlier in March and the weather forecast for the re-arranged meeting was not brilliant - solid cloud, heavy showers and high winds. However, the lure of the Great Bustard was strong because we had one of our best attended Field Meetings for some time.
To find out whether we were succesful in finding Great Bustard .......

What a way to end a wonderful day
Our Spring 2013 issue of our magazine is in the post and should be received by all members soon. It's a great issue. Most of the articles have been written by members of the Society and are about birds and birding subjects associated with Andalucia. In this issue we also have included articles about orchids and dragonflies. The magazine is FREE to members of the society and is one of a number of benefits you receive when you become a member of the Society. See here for further information and how to become a member 
Ospreys are one of the most charismatic and cosmopolitan of all bird species. The species’ global distribution and migratory habits lend it to collaborative projects. As Yossi Leshem has demonstrated through his work in the Middle East, migrating birds like Ospreys cross national, cultural and religious boundaries and have great potential to link communities separated by hundreds if not thousands of miles. We believe Ospreys provide us with a truly unique opportunity to engage and link communities across the world. ABS is associated with the Osprey Migration Foundation and you can read more here on this project…
