Beelzebub 2,508 Posted April 22, 2022 Share Posted April 22, 2022 Yes its a bit lucky be able to see nature everyday, I've met quite a few people who said that they liked hearing voices of birds when they visited our house. They came from big urban cities and its a rarity in those places. People take that for granted Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not as they are leaving for the winter. I know they aren't migratory birds. I'm not that dumb. Took me a bit to realise what you mean. There are wild hens/cocks down here in Benalmádena and they live in a park. But what's interesting is that they are actively breeding and building nests. There were loads of chickens running around last time I was here and huge nests In the bushes. I just remembered about them yesterday when I went to the park. You also see domesticated style rabbits, but wild. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subscriber CaaC (John)+ 5,358 Posted May 9, 2022 Subscriber Share Posted May 9, 2022 @Stan had put a tweet (video) of these ducks in another forum and this bit made me piss myself laughing and I had to put it in here, it's as if the duck is saying "I think I will do a little bit of sunbathing..."

Moderator Tommy 12,604 Posted June 2, 2022 Moderator Share Posted June 2, 2022 Spotted a Cormorant today. Also, not a bird, but wildlife, gave this little fella a lift for a couple of meters until he flew off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subscriber nudge+ 15,324 Posted June 2, 2022 Author Subscriber Share Posted June 2, 2022 I have a mongoose living in my garden! Spotted it once a few months ago, but wasn't sure it was actually a mongoose, but now it has been doing daily walks around the garden for quite some time Observed a pair of white-breasted waterhen catching insects and small fish on the banks of a lake/pond today. Quite interesting birds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carnivore Chris 2,606 Posted June 3, 2022 Share Posted June 3, 2022 A Raven just landed on top of my bird feeders and because it is too large to eat from the feeders themselves, it rips the lids off the top of them so it can reach the food. They are intelligent little bastards aren't they Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subscriber nudge+ 15,324 Posted September 6, 2022 Author Subscriber Share Posted September 6, 2022 I was looking around for some guided birding tours and found this: So now I'm trying to get some information from the tour organisers about the prices and available dates etc., but it sounds really interesting. Basically, it's a 2day-1night tour where you visit some birding sites on the first day, spend the night in a safari-style tents in the wild, and then go to such a "vulture restaurant" just before dawn to observe them feeding on a carcass of a dead cattle. Up to 150 different bird species in the birding sites, various species of vultures including the 3 critically endangered species of vultures (Red-headed Vulture, White-rumped Vulture and Slender-billed Vulture) + dholes and golden jackals at the "vulture restaurant" area Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
