SI VIVES EN ESPAÑA Y TE APASIONAN LAS AVES:
Si vives en España y te apasionan las aves, por favor, ¡ayúdanos a crear un mejor "fórum" ornitológico! Aquí en Andalucia Bird Society queremos y esperamos hacer de nuestro foro un recurso valioso, y tú puedes hacer una gran contribución: únete a nosotros y házte uno de nuestros primeros miembros castellano-parlantes.

Hasta la fecha, la casi totalidad de la gente adscrita a nuestra sociedad es no-nativa y, mientras apreciamos sus inestimables aportaciones, nos encantaría que la gente española amante de las aves formara también parte de nuestro grupo.

Queremos que personas que tienen el castellano como lengua materna escriban sus notícias y/o historias en "la lengua de Cervantes", y nos parecería maravilloso poder intercambiar opiniones, información, etc , con la gente del país. Somos muy conscientes también de que tú puedes tener notícias que no nos han llegado a nosotros y, además, de que podrías estar mejor informado que nosotros sobre ciertos temas de conservación. Así pues, por favor, ¡únete a nosotros y participa!

Se puede ver el foro siguiendo el enlace escrito abajo. ¡Muchas gracias!

Brenda took some photographs of various orchids and attach 3 Ophrys fusca. I am convinced that number 3 is O.f.dyris, but would like some opinions if possible please.

Okay, I guess I am always trying to turn Ophrys fuscus into something different (so says Brenda) and read the post on IBF where Sue kindly (?) describes all 3 as O fuscus. So there you go, another attempt by me to get O.f.dyris falls by the wayside!  ::)

Hi Peter,
wasn't intending to be cruel  ;D
there are many subspecies of Ophrys fusca, but I've yet to find one that matches well enough with the books to be convincing! They are all cross pollinating and each year seems to bring a slightly different colour pattern combination...all within a few metres of each other.
However...all is not lost...if you have a moment to look over at the fields of 'La Rana' near Grazalema village, it is a hot spot for not only O. dyris but many other orchids at this time of year (late April/early May)

Hi All.

I missed this topic when it came out and have just noted the comment about the Ophrys dyris at La Rana. With info from Sue and Clive I went up there last year looking for dyris and found (Photos 1 and 2) these which looking in the new book in the La Serrania range look much more like Ophrys algarviensis than classic dyris (3). Algarviensis is said to be in Malaga Province but not Cadiz.
Any comments?????

Mick.
