SPANISH SKETCHES
My first birdwatching trip overseas was to the Spanish island of Mallorca, and it was a revelation – the light, warmth and quintessential Mediterranean species wherever I looked - I was already planning further excursions.
Trips to Andalucia, Pyrenees and Extremadura followed and for many years I became a seasonal annual migrant leading birdwatching groups to some of the most special regions of this beautiful country.
