Today the Arboleas Birding Group visited the Observatory between Tijola and Gergal (Almería) at an altitude of 6,800ft. The temperature was a lovely 19c, but felt somewhat cooler due to wind chill. On the way up near to Bacares we stopped at a disused mine where there's a 100ft sandstone cliff face. Here numerous Crag Martins and Rock Sparrows nesting. We were very pleased and surprised to find that there were also two pairs of Alpine Swifts nesting. Up on the higher levels near the observatory, we saw Tawny Pipit, Rock Thrush, Northern Wheatear and Skylark.18/6/08

The following has received from Gilly & Dave Elliott-Binns, for which many thanks. The photo of the unidentified Little Brown Job is Dave's and is believed to be a juv. Woodlark.
