I've tried to leave a comment several times but have had trouble getting it accepted. Something strange regarding my email address so I have posted with an older address in hopes that'll get past the mechanic censor. I'm new to Spain, new to BCN in particular. Missing the PNW in the US, I've spent several days researching sites to help me get comfortable with nature in this area. Your writings are most intriguing ... especially the archived entry 2004_11 regarding losses due to hunting. Has this situation been improved? If you have spare time, do write. I am hoping to make connections with like-minded people in this area that also speak English. Thanks, Emme
