Mick Richardson - Granada Wildlife

Wildlife Tours. Granada Wildlife offer guided tours in this wonderful and diverse area of Spain. Tours are tailored to suit you.

Just an hour from the coast this area has a fantastic mix of habitats, ranging from high mountain tops, reed beds, open water, woodland, scrub and agricultural plains. The local guide not only has nearly 40 years experience of birding in the UK and Europe but he also has a vast knowledge of the orchids, dragonflies, moths and butterflies of the area. Either aimed at people with a general interest

in wildlife or tours for experienced birders wanting to track down that elusive target species. The aim is to show nature at its best with minimum impact on the local environment.

The main reason for going to the spot where I got the Osprey photo's was to see a female Common Eider which had been around for a few days and she did not disappoint and put on a good show.

Whilst birding with Friend Ricky Owen on Friday afternoon we were lucky enough to get some nice close up views of an Osprey which had just made a successful strike in the bay in front of us.

Last Thursday I met up with Friends Kiersten and Richard who took me to an amazing part of the Sierra Nevada that was new to me.
The views alone made it worth a visit but we also had a brilliant hour watching a couple of Adult looking Bearded Vultures dropping bones on a ridge above us.
We also saw Spanish Ibex, a single Painted Lady and some flowering Snow Gentians all at above 2000m in November.

A bit distant for photo's and a crap back ground but it was still amazing watching this adult Spanish / Iberian Imperial Eagle through the scope on the far edge of my patch.

During the day we also had a late Red-rumped Swallow, Short-toed Eagle and a returning male Tufted Duck.

After being stuck inside for most of yesterday I popped down and checked the fields and found some of the Stone Curlews were quite close to the road, I counted 33 birds but there were certainly more there.

Hello moth people, three from a couple of days ago 09/10/2024.
Near Huétor Tajar, GR.
Hopefully the first two are Polymixis dubia and Denticucullus mabillei but the thirds I am not sure of, I am fairly confident it's a Dryobotodes Species but which one????
Any help would be much appreciated, Mick.

Whilst up at Puerto del la Ragua last week with friends Derek and Barbara Etherton we came across a flock of T**s (long-tailed, Coal, Great and Crested) containing at least 3 Firecrests which came in nice and close whilst feeding in large rose bushes.
