The past three evenings I have spent time at two Eagle Owl (Buho Real) sites with some very good sightings. There are two guys over from England who want to see this species for the first time. Sunday evening at Pedrera was unsuccessful and incredibly quiet except for Little Owl (Mochuelo Europea).
On Monday I chose a different place and eventually one perched on a tree at the top of the ridge. It was a considerable distance away but this a problem with this place although sightings can be very good. I met Pablo Parales of Amigos de Sierra Escalona.
The following evening saw myself and our two visitors at this latter site. It was quiet all around with not one raptor any where to be seen but we always see something. The light had faded a little but there on the ridge of a farm building was the bird these people wanted to see. As the light was not that good they walked nearer to it, scoped it and saw it fly. A great result for them and another one for me too - plus a bottle of wine.
