Birding in Malaga city and visit a friend on my way down to Palmones ready for a Pelagic tomorrow.
Egyptian Vulture (Alimoche Común / Neophron percnopterus). |
As I walked there were plenty of the much more common Monk Parakeet (Cotorra Argentina / Myiopsitta monachus) which were flying through the trees making a right racket, I also saw Robin (Petirrojo Europeo / Erithacus rubecula), Common Swift (Vencejo Común / Apus apus) and Spotless Starling (Estornino Negro / Sturnus unicolor) before I found three Rose-rings sat together in a tree nice and quiet.

I had hoped and planned to call and see Penny and John but it was with great sadness I heard a week before that Penny had passed away, it was very sad news to get and she will be dearly missed by John, her Family and many, many people in the Moth world down here in Spain and back in the UK.
Griffon Vulture (Bultre Leonado / Gyps fulvus). |
Other species included Common Kestrel (Cernicalo Vulgar / Falco tinnunculus), Cirl Bunting (Escribano Soteno / Emberiza cirlus), Blue-rock Thrush (Roquero Solitario / Monticola solitarius), Woodchat Shrike (Alcaudón Común / Lanius senator), Alpine Swift (Vencejo Real / Apus melba) and a fly over Peregrine Falcon (Halcón Peregrino / Falco peregrinus).

Good day and great to spend some time with John and plan a trip for later in the year.
