Lee Wilkinson says:<\/h4>\n

Birding in Spain \u2013 2 excellent tours<\/h4>\n

“Three mates and I had a fantastic tour with Birding In Spain<\/strong> seeing 140+ species<\/strong> including all our targets including Bonelli\u2019s Eagles<\/strong>, both Bustards and Wallcreeper<\/strong>. Steve West\u2019s knowledge of the birds of the area is formidable, as are his call recognition skills. I remember one time he simultaneously identified by call three birds which sure enough popped into view. He\u2019s also very good company. Great accommodation and comfortable vehicle. Later in the year I did their Lammergeier<\/strong> photography trip, which Florinda organised for me to perfection.<\/em>”<\/p>\n

Lee Wilkinson from the UK arranged a birding trip with Birding In Spain<\/strong> for himself and three friends in early April 2016. Then he returned alone later in the year to enjoy some hide sessions on his own taking photographs of Lammergeiers<\/strong> and vultures galore.

“Lee, thanks to you and the lads I had an excuse to be out and about in the countryside looking for birds just when things were on the move for the spring season. We managed to see the last wintering Wallcreeper<\/strong>, and the first Red-rumped Swallow<\/strong>, and the air seemed so alive and refreshing at that time of the year. So I should thank you for getting me out of the city! It was also fun playing the numbers game, although I can\u2019t remember who the winner was, can you?<\/p>\n

Another thing:\u00a0Do you remember how thrilled Pete was at seeing the wild boar<\/strong> (the one you photographed, and included here)? And that you really have to return one day for another try at Black Woodpecker<\/strong> and Penduline Tit<\/strong>?”<\/p>\n
