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!

Hi All

Back on the 9th August I spent a short while at a small nature reserve on the Granada coast near Motril called Charca de Suárez. Dragonfly photography was the main reason for the trip and several species were seen. Violet Dropwing (Trithemis annulata) several nice males, Broad Scarlet (Crocothemis erythraea) probably the commonest species seen, Black-tailed Skimmer (Orthetrum cancellatum) and Black Percher (Diplacodes lefebvrii) were all skimming around the main pool. Common (Anax imperator) and Lesser Emperor (Anax parthenope) were both seen out on the open water areas, two males of the former were seen in battle for territory, with one male suffering such bad wing damage it did not survive the attack.  The only Damselfly species seen were Iberian Bluetail (Ischnura graellsii) and Small Red-eyed (Erythromma viridulum) both of which were difficult to get any shots of due to the windy conditions. The rarest species of the morning was Long Skimmer (Orthetrum trinacria); at least three males were seen at the site.

All the best Mick.
