In my youth I enjoyed nature and wildlife watching. As a young man I wanted to travel and see the World. Now, after twenty eight years of seafaring and sixteen years lecturing in a nautical college I have the time and inclination to continue where I left off as a boy. I live with my wife Elena near the white village of Frigiliana in the mountainous Axarquia region of Andalucia. It is mostly around here that we spend many happy hours watching and photographing birds, butterflies, dragonflies and any other forms of wildlife we encounter. This blog is a diary of our observations and experiences in the field. It also allows us to show scenes from someof the places we visit on our travels.
