Roller seen on 2 May at the Rio Seco, Frigiliana by Steve Powell - his photograph.

Sometimes you just need to stop and take the opportunity to warm your hands! Yours truly, Gerry Collins, Andy Paterson and Louise Gray caught on camera by Ian Kirk during the January Axarquia Bird Group visit to the Guadalhorce in Malaga.

Appeal - Read and ACT NOW!

APPEAL. Once more an attempt is being made to bring some pressure bear on the weak-kneed, lily-livered Maltese politicians to stop the spring massacre of migrants by their unspeakable hunting inhabitants, in spite of continual international condemnation. Therefore, please copy and paste to this link http://www.avaaz.org/en/petition/Stop_Spring_Hunting_in_Malta/ then read and sign.

Cetti's Warbler Cettia cetti (Photo: Steve Powell)

On a visit to the Charca de Suarez reserve on the western outskirts of Motril on the evening of 7 March, Steve and Elena managed to capture a pair of very hormonal Cetti's Warblers doing what comes natural at this time of the year along with that strange behaviour of the Purple Swamphen when he starts climbing the reed and holding his food in his claw as if he were a mammal with hands!

Malaga Sightings

A page on the site specifically targeted at the birds you see in Malaga Province and its neighbouring areas. The aim is to enable all of us to have early reference to the birds seen in our part of Spain. The more who contact me the more information will become avail to all. So, help a fellow birder by sending me your sightings, either by email (rcnwright@gmail.com) or by telephone (mobile 669 649 529).

Remember, most birders are not experts; we all have to start somewhere and every little bit helps.

For my part, I will try and update at least twice a week and sooner once I start getting your reports.
