In the end of April 2006 me and three friends made a birding trip to Southern Spain.

In Galicia, near a man-made lake, we saw a bird that was a member of the Jay family. Do you know what it is called?

Anyone seen a pigeon-shaped bird with vivid red wings and vivid red tail. It was with a normal pigeon so don't know if it was painted for some kind of sick sport or whether it was crossed with some sort of parrot. Any ideas? Seen in the Fuente Alamo area, Murcia on 28/3/16.

I have also seen the black & white striped bird in Torrevieja area. Does anyone know the name of it - it has very distinctive markings

Guest		06-Jul-2012 09:11
Seen the bird with the stripes and aerial/dart on head also. Love to know what it's called.

saw a bird it had black and white stripes wings, but had a dart at top of its head with like a ball on top. Looked through all of these pictures and not seen it. Linda illsley

In our garden we see a tiny light brown bird,with a very sharp pointed beak. It is smaller than a wren and reminds me of the humming birds we have seen in the USA although it is possibly a bit bigger than them.It was first seen picking at the pollen on a bourganvilla. Can you tell us what it is please?

SMALL BIRD VERY DISTINCTIVE LIGHT BROWN HEAD, WHITE BREAST AND BLACK AND WHITE WINGS - WHAT WOULD THIS BE? I HAVE A COUPLE OF PHOTOS.

Very much enjoyed your pictures -helped us to identify a bird that nests near us in Nerja Elaine Roberts

I looked through your pictures, which I very much enjoyed, but... a question, what could be the name of a small bird with a sort of darting flight pattern and who has a very, very orange chest? All of a sudden there are quite a few at a friend's house in the provrence of Cuenca. Thanks, Marjory Lynn
