Seprona

[mike in Jerez]

Yes, Peter, I did get a reply from Seprona last week. They basically gave the same information as Stephen did, ie call 062 and report  to the command post of the Guardia Civil, OR phone the local Guardia Civil, OR call a Seprona patrol vehicle (no number given).
You can also make a complaint at any Guardia Civil "cuartel", or police station giving all details you can of the incident and send an email to: ingreso@guardiacivil.org This kind of reporting to the police will not be considered as a formal complaint and will be treated as strictly confidential Your complaint will be passed on to the relevant unit for them to check out.
Unfortunately no mention of anything in English, although I did ask.
They also point out that the Consejería del Medio Ambiente (Environment Dept.)
of the Junta de Andalucía may also be able to give more information.
Attached photo has nothing to do with this topic. I`m just experimenting!

Seprona: Thanks Mike and when I have a spare day I will speak to the Consejería del Medio Ambiente office in Ronda. I know most of the staff quite well, so might be able to get more information. Your information though is useful and I am thinking of putting some information, when more complete, on the main web site as a reference for members and also visitors.

Photograph: Ouch! You can see the cow closing its eyes! Great picture of Azure-winged Magpie antics . I can't remember ever seeing them paying such close attention to livestock before. Thanks.

Hi Mick, Peter and all who may be interested - a tip with Spanish when making a denucia or complaint to the SEPRONA wing of the Guardia Civil ON-LINE  ingreso@guardiacivil.org ..... Use Google Translate for basic translation from English to Spanish. Bookmark the page here: http://translate.google.com/#      and start to say "I'd like to report"... "Me gustaría informar" .....giving of course place, date, time and witnesses. Carrying a digital camera is very useful and taking photos of people - especially at or beside vehicles amkes all the difference. Any photos of the scene or offence would be helpfull. Hope this helps, Regards to all stephen (pic of shot Ruppel's Vulture)
