Hadoram Shirihai <\/a>is amongst the most influential ornithologists on the current international scene. His published works \u201cThe Birds of Israel (1996)\u201d, \u201cSylvia Warblers (2001)\u201d, \u201cWhales, Dolphins and Seals (2006): a field Guide to the Marine Mammals of the World\u201d and \u201cA Complete Guide to the Antarctic Wildlife (2007)\u201d constitute first order landmarks on natural history bibliography. On the occasion of the 2nd edition of the Delta Birding Festival <\/a>(Tarragona), where he was invited to give a lecture about the re-discovery of several previously considered extinct Oceanic petrels, Hadoram has travelled extensively throughout Spain. His main goal was to photograph autumn plumages of certain target species to illustrate his forthcoming book projects.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Birding The Strait has been pleased to organize a tailor-made 5-day tour in Andalusia, covering Do\u00f1ana Natural Park, Serran\u00eda de Ronda and, of course, the Strait of Gibraltar. The highlights of these fully enjoyable days of non-stop birding included the aerial displays of immature Spanish Imperial Eagles, a late brood of Red-necked Nightjar, up to 12 showy Black Wheatears and 2 unexpected Lesser-spotted Eagles<\/a>, to name but a few.<\/p>\n In addition to this we have enjoyed some of our local specialities such as the Northern Bald Ibis, R\u00fcppell\u00b4s Vulture, \u201cGibraltar Buzzard\u201d, Common Bulbul, and large numbers of Marsh Harriers, Booted Eagles and Short-toed Eagles on migration. Hear him talk about the vicissitudes of his world expeditions in search of some of the least known birds on the planet and exchanging views on several ornithological aspects has been a unique and fully inspiring experience.<\/p>\n We would like to thank Francesc Kirchner and Jos\u00e9 Luis Copete (Delta Birding Festival), Manuel Mojarro (Do\u00f1ana Spoontrips), Antonio J. Garc\u00eda (Centro de Visitantes del Guadiamar\/Guadiamar Educa) and Junta de Andaluc\u00eda for their collaboration.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Hadoram Shirihai is amongst the most influential ornithologists on the current international scene.
