I’m going to Nerja in Spain 2 weeks tomorrow and was wondering if there’s any good spots to visit.
Not seen any yet except Gulls 🤣Should be some birds of prey about Euan (hopefully !). Eyes to the skies!
Hi Euan, did you see much in Frigilianna ?Really enjoyed my time on Nerja today is my last day yesterday whilst having lunch at a beach bar I watched a Cormorant diving in the water.
Not really was pretty much bird less for me but I was looking around maybe next timeHi Euan, did you see much in Frigilianna ?
Glad you enjoyed Nerja
No Herring Gulls down there Euan, what you saw will have been Yellow- legged GullArrived back from Nerja to a very cold Edinburgh yesterday so looks like my shorts are being packed away for the time being. It was a nice relaxing holiday and I did see some birds. Though not anything new for me on this holiday apart from the Black Redstart most birds I saw are ones we see back home. Here are the list of birds I saw.
Monk Parakeet
Collered Dove
Feral Pigeon
Black Redstart
Blackbird
Herring Gull
Cormorant
Only difference I kinda noticed the Blackbirds looked slightly thinner to the ones we get here and their call sounded a bit different (maybe their call was a Spanish accent 🤣) but seriously though it was kinda hard to explain sounded a bit different. But overall a great destination to go to.
You’re right it isNo Herring Gulls down there Euan, what you saw will have been Yellow- legged Gull
( hopefully another new species for you!).
