I spent a couple of days in Seville this week. Amongst the heat of the city is the oasis of the Alcazar and it's gardens. I could not help but keep an eye out for some new dragonflies and butterflies. Fuelled by a few too many tapas and glasses of wine here are the few species I managed to nab during my afternoon visit. I have done my best to ID them correctly

Adios......
Superb place, had a few migrants in those gardens last Sept - loads of tapas bars, we had the one that Rick Stein featured, a few doors from the hotel, El Rinconcillo (little corner) - then a week in Tarifa, rewarding with good vismig of raptors but very windy and unproductive on some days....

I saw the Welsh bloke that Stein was chatting too there, taking a stroll out for his evening Tapas, heading towards El Rinconsillo !
ReplyDeleteSuperb Odonata shots...those dropwings really are something!
