  5. Dear Simon and Nikki,
    Thank you for sharing this. Really fascinating and another reason for visiting the Straits again in the future.
    I hope that you are able to stay safe and well and that the Inglorious Bustards team will be up and running again very soon.
    Best wishes to you both. Alan

    1. Many thanks Alan – hoping that will change soon enough. It is a good time to look over our conservation work and forge ahead with new and existing partnerships, more on that soon ….so we keep busy!

  6. What a brilliant scheme. I only wish I was a good enough birder to volunteer to help with the count. Sunshine, lots of birds, great people and really worthwhile conservation data – what is not to like?! Keep up the good “work”.

    1. Thanks Alan -you are so good enough! … it is glorious no doubt but when you have counted 11,000 Honey Buzzards and not really stopped looking for your bins for 6 – 7 hours, it takes the toll, sounds idillic but is actually quite taxing…..

  8. Wow😱 superenvious👍🏻

    It will have been 3 years this September since my last visit to Tarifa😕

    I have been going for a coupla weeks to Georgia and Batumi instead but as the official count has been cancelled this year it could be a return to Andalucia but only if the tapas bars etc are open and some of these more personal restrictions have been lifted🤔

    Until then i shall look forward to your updates. It was good to read about Dave and his Moths – i helped set up his fledgeling conservation group in Middlesboro more decades ago than i care to remember😉

    All the best –

    Laurie👍🏻

    1. Hey Laurie !

      We ran our Swift Weekender recently with no issues, just lots of fun! you can see the trip report here:

      https://ingloriousbustards.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/08/SwiftWeekender2020.pdf

      All bars, hotels and restaurants are open here, we have Covid-19 restrictions in place however for everyones safety. Indeed we are regionally and nationally approved for our safety measures.

      And of course there isn’t anything quite like The Straits!

      Also consider travelling with us for our relentless (!!) unwavering commitment to flyway conservation and sustainability !
