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.

I Just like these cracking little birds, I have been lucky enough to be watching a small flock for a few weeks now and have eventually managed to get some OK photos.

All the best Mick.

Well, shouldn't be allowed, a flock and then photographs, very jealous!!!

BTW can you do the January Field Meeting Mick, yes, I thought so. Can you let me have a date for a Saturday, meeting point and rough description of the itinerary? Thanks so very much.

Mick,

I have been bird watching in Andalucia for about eight years now and have never seen one.  I think they are a very local bird.  Did they breed in your area?

You're just rubbing it in Mick!  Most of us would be happy with one, a photo would be a bonus but to have a flock "resident" for a week?  Well, it's just not fair.  Great sightings though and loved the pics.  Even as a I write the "little green-eyed monster" is rapidly disappearing.

Hi All.

I am not sure whether the birds breed in the area or if they are just taking advantage of a good food supply before moving south. I know that they breed in small numbers up in the Sierra Nevada. I will be keeping an eye open for them a bit earlier next year.
