no joshing, It has been identified as an inmature Little Bitten, which may mean it has sibblings about as well as Mum & Dad. Also now seen quite a few birds we havent seen before which I wil post when we get back.

This has been useful to me in identifying birds in Arillas before.

The Golden Oriole is such a wonderful colour and can't be mistaken for anything else once you have seen it.

They are usually more common in the autumn but have been spotted this spring. They love to feed on ripe fruit so they are a bit of a pest to farmers.

Now then Dimitris...... how about setting up some birdwatching tours for "twitchers" ? You could have some fun with that!!!

Sally and i set out along the banks of the Arillas River,we got so far and met Viv and Pete,off the 4 of us went,we then met Sallys brother and his Wife so now we were 6,We followed the trail,about 5 and 1/2 miles long,what a fantastic walk this is,we saw parts of Arillas we never knew exsisted,some lovely valleys and wooded areas with tons of Butterflys(thats a lot of em),grasshoppers, birds and the one snake which shot off into the undergrowth when i showed snake.A real superb walk i would reccomend to everyone.A big big thanks to everyone in Arillas who have given up their time and land to get this trail going.

The bird is a young Little Bitten and it is real,Sallys brother identified it as such when Pete showed him the picture,and Chris does know his birds.

thanks Harold. I can just imagine as the team grew, and grew, and grew along the trail. Sadly for Jen, she can barely walk from Bardis to Mirage without a break, so these delights will be embodied in any pictures that get posted on forum. HINT!

It just goes to show how much the Arillas families have done to enhance our newby arrivals' experience (and us old hands too....) I loved the post from spicy who came for the first time in May and has already booked September. just need another couple of hundred cases like that.

Its the posting above this but to get it in order you have to go page 3 then 1  then 2. but at least you will be able to see them. Viv

Many thanks Viv, although I won't be walking the whole trail myself it was great to see your photos and get a real feel of it, my brother-in-law walks a lot and when he came to Arillas for the first time last year he said that the walking was something he really enjoyed, so this trail will be great for when he returns this year.
