Five days in Extremadura: 3 - 7 June 2013
Following our five days in Extremadura where we did manage to record both
Great Bustards and
Rollers along with many other wonderful birds, the following is
a selection of photographs taken during the visit by Steve Powell. More of his wonderful photos can be found on his personal website, "Wild About Spain" by
CLICKING HERE. The group photo at the end was taken by myself using the lady wife's camera and Steve can be found second from the back on the right.
