BirdingInSpain

“Blah!” is the name of a new category in the BirdingInSpain.com web scene.

Everybody knows that “Blah, blah, blah” means someone is talking too much. So “Blah!” is mostly images, and just a few words.

The first “Blah!” post:

Birds in the Monegros?

Water in the Monegros used to be a precious thing. In the long hot summer it would look something like the above – a drinking pool.

Oh, look! A sandgrouse track! But what’s that next to it? A euro? Perhaps we can follow its trail around the Monegros.

3 million euros. Not bad for a start….

There’s 12 million euros. That’s more like it!

And there’s 22 million euros. Those pesky dryland birds won’t know what hit them!

Thanks guys! Couldn’t do any of this without you!

Sure signs that this is a humanitary mission. And that all those euros are being well spent.

Now don’t get me wrong, I like nature. Flowers and birds are very pretty. But no-one’s going to get rich by trying to make sure that sandgrouse and bustards don’t go extinct, are they? Just how much money do you think you can scrounge off the European Union for biodiversity conservation? Be serious!

One day all the Monegros will be like this.
