Myself, Mark and his brother Alan have just spent the last five days in Gibraltar. Mark was primarily out there to get some ringing in at the Observatory with Ray Marsh a retired army Captain who now resides over the border in Spain. Alan and I were both there for the general birding. Principally to see a few raptors passing overhead, (although we knew it was a little late in the season); but essentially to catch up with a few local specialities and also hoping for a goody or two in the nets. We were not disappointed. Over the next week or so Mark and I will place a few entries on the blog of our exploits. Hope you enjoy it.
