ANDALUCIA - 7 DAY TOUR - DAY 5 - MAY 11TH

COLMENAR - ENCINAS BORRACHES TRACK - SIERRA DE LAS NIEVES


I go poor Tony and Pat up very early today and took them to Colmenar before breakfast. They both said it was worth it after having great views of Golden Oriole.


Woodcock Orchid






After breakfast we ventured up towards Ronda and walked the 'drunken oaks' path, it was very windy but we had good views of Bonelli's Warbler, Thekla Lark, Black-eared Wheatear, Linnet, Blue Rock Thrush, Rock Bunting, Rock Sparrow and good but brief views of Spanish Imperial Eagle. It was very windy but dry, the wind died down on the return journey.


Silver-leaved Viper's Bugloss




Loose-leaved Orchid (Orchis saxiflora)

A view along the 'drunken oaks' track - a section of heathland just before the oak woods where Dartford and Spectacled Warblers breed.

The afternoon was spent at the nature reserve of Sierra de las Nieves, we didn't find many birds in the windy conditions but we did lots of flowers and few butterflies.
