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 Clive, interesting I am now picking-up lots of Woodchat Shrike, Subalpine Warbler, Spectacled Warbler, Black-eared Wheatear and a few Willow Warbler. Most if not all our Lesser Kestrel are back and at last Booted Eagles are now regular (still not on usual territories). Common Swift is now regular and lots of Alpine Swifts around. I managed a Northern Wheatear Oenanthe oenanthe leucorhoa high up in Libar on Monday, which is, I think, my earliest date since living here.

Of interest although unusual was a Short-eared Owl near Montejaque on Tuesday and on the same day a Ruppell's Vulture coming into the feeding area near to Acinipo (Old Ronda).

Hi Peter,

Yes it is interesting to see the comparison. Certainly it is VERY early for Greenland Wheatear and a sighting worth noting. Just spent three days in Donana and breeding of waterbirds is behind schedule. It seems too much water! Lots of Booted Eagles there and a strong passage of Bee-eaters too.

Cheers,


Clive

Removed a post here as it referred to migration of people not birds! Sorry about that, although very interesting the Forum is 'strictly' about wildlife and if there is a need for more general threads non wildlife, then happy to create a seperate general heading on the forum.

First Woodchat Shrike and Willow Warblers of the year today - by the raging Rio Verde in Marbella.

Nice pics Kevin. Lots of migrants started to appear 24th in the upper Sahara region here in Morocco, so I fully expect an influx VERY soon at home (Spain)!!!
