Home near Huétor Tajar, Granada Province,Spain.

Goodbye to Deb and Ian.
(Deb and Ian Day Nine).

We were all up and about early for Deb and Ian departure to Malaga Airport and on to the next part of their adventure in Northern Scotland.
We finished their visit seeing over 160 species of Bird which included several lifers for them, along with a good number of Wildflowers, Orchids, Butterflies, Dragonflies and smaller numbers of Mammal, Amphibians and Reptiles.
Good luck with the next part of your trip, hope the info helps and looking forward to hearing from you both when you return home to Australia (hope there's not to much work to catch up with).
All the very best and thank you for supporting Granada Wildlife, Mick and Jayne.

Deb and Ian's comments:

Dear Mick and Jayne.

We can't thank you enough for such a fantastic stay, we will be back!!        
Mick your Knowledge of the area and it's flora and fauna is amazing and your determination to get us the best views and photographs of the birds was incredible.
Highlights were probably the Rufous Bush Robin hovering in front of the windscreen having a good look at the birders and getting so close to a Great Spotted Cuckoo we had to get out of the car to check it was alright!!! The Rollers, Spanish Imperial Eagle, Black Vulture, Both Bustards and Alpine Accentors (ect ect) were also hard to beat.
The flora was also stunning and our favorites were probably the Spanish Rusty Foxglove and Nigella Papillosa. The Butterflies and other insects were pretty special too. We have never used a guide before and to have someone who knew the area and it's flora and fana so incredible well was fantastic. Thanks for taking us to the local Tapas bars and for being such great company, we had a ball!!! The accommodation was perfect, we loved Jayne's cooking and all also the evening chats while watching the Red-necked Nightjars,

Hopefully you will come and visit us in Australia!! Love Deb and Ian.
