more Spain

Bird banding - an excellent class, the guides set up nets and caught 6 birds; logged them and checked banding or, for new birds, banded them.




Next: Roman ruins on the beach!

Southern Spain for a Change





Southern Spain was beautiful. See just how beautiful. For instance, that's the "rock" of Gibraltar in the background! And the 12-year-old mosque built for I don't know how many Euros on a prime waterfront lot!! The 2 bodies of water: the Mediterranean Sea and the Strait of Gibraltar.
The barbary apes on Gibraltar are an amazing experience...


Feet on holiday in the beautiful city of Ronda:
