    Autumn Passage, 2023, Catalunya

    Just a final note. I've finally had a look at the photos of the possible Collared Flycatcher from 23rd September. As expected, they're awful because the bird was quite some distance away and I've seen nothing that has been indicative that my initial ID was correct, so it will need to go down as...

    Monday 23rd October I would have liked an earlier start than we eventually managed but we were at the delta by about 9 a.m. and after a quick breakfast in Camarles our first real stop was near Finca de Bombita on the road running northwest from the T-340 at the roundabout by Parc Deltaventur...

    Also for the 21st, the archaeological site was pretty good for butterflies. We saw at least 6 species, most of them in good numbers. Apart from Clouded Yellows and a couple of Geranium Bronzes that we didn't get a photo of, we'll need to inspect the images to get positive IDs. Sunday 22nd...

    Apologies for the delay in updating. Tech issues whilst in Tarragona and then a bit busy since getting back. Hopefully I can remember what else I saw. Worth mentioning that I had breakfast with a local birder who works in conservation in South America and does a lot of birding in Catalunya. He...

    Autumn Passage, 2023, Catalunya

    Don't get too excited, this isn't going to be great. Our first visit to Tarragona (for Santa Tecla) since 2019. Mostly casual/incidental birding because we're busy with other things. Might be of limited value for anyone visiting Tarragona soon. No time this trip for an excursion to the Ebro...
