A VERY enjoyable field visit was arranged by Peter Jones on behalf of the Andalucia Bird Society. Leaving Estacion de Benoajan at just after ten in the morning, 19 of us were able to spend almost three hours in the sierras above Montejaque at Llanos de Libar.

Excellent and friendly company and, whilst we may not have seen the illusive Wallcreeper, we did see lots of Ring Ouzel, Alpine Accentor, Black Wheatear, Blue Rock Thrush, a range of warblers and tits and, of course, many, many Griffon Vulture. A feeding Lesser kestrel was also a joy to behold.

RETURNED to England a couple of weeks ago. Have a house in Cortes. Picked up the colour Secret Andalucia brochure and a reader of G3 when we are out there.

Keep visiting both websites (www.secretandalucia.com and www.barallioli.com) as it's the most comprehensive info we have found and keeps us in touch with our second home. Didn't realise so much was going on!! Must start planning the next holiday. Very interested in walking. Wish I was still there especially seeing the temperatures!
