Black Storks

a good passage of Black Storks during our visit with c700 seen

Tarifa area scenes

not what you would call a scenic area of the world and with 90% humidity and almost constant haze it is almost impossible to get a clear image -- a 4-wheel drive is very useful if you want to do any exploring off the main road

 Los Lances beach at sunset

 Looking from the main raptor viewpoint over Tarifa town

 inland from La Janda site for Spanish Imperial and Bonelli's

 La Janda -- hardly scenic or attractive but good for birds

 Tarifa port

 Inland valleys

 mani raptor viewpoint has a useful cover to keep the sun off

 Views from the raptor viewpoint

 La Janda and the main pool

 sunset Bolonia beach

Everywhere was bone dry after 4 months of drought

 almost as many no entry signs as Far Ings

 a short hop to Morocco Jebel Musa in the background

Red-necked Phalarope

managed to catch up with the Alkborough Red-necked Phal after getting back from Spain on a nice day -- Canon 5D4, 400DO2 and 1.4xIII

catching up

just had 8 days at Tarifa in southern Spain watching raptors -- got a bit too hot at the ned at 30C - 32C but excellent trip though challenging photography -- working on images to come soon

first a schweeping owl -- terrible records really
