BIRD AND WILDLIFE GALLERY - DR. COLIN BRADSHAW, Chairman, British Birds Rarities Committee.

Page. 2 Photos and Commentary from Colin after visiting Finca Santa Marta in June 2003.

"... the birding around the Finca is amazing. Azure-winged Magpies abound, Black Vulture and Booted Eagle drift overhead, whilst Hawfinch, Bee-eater and Golden Oriole call continuously. On the hill above there are breeding Wood and Thekla Lark, Orphean Warbler and Woodchat, whilst the stream below the Finca was home to a family party of Avadavat."

Below are some of Colin's excellent bird photographs. Please note all photos are © Dr Colin Bradshaw.
