As I said in an earlier post, it isn’t possible to just take off and explore this National Forest on your own.

Hence we signed up to an “expedition” through the area on a jeep. Highlight of the trip was seeing a Lynx but sadly just wasn’t quick enough to be able to take a picture.

The area is a haven for birdlife and we saw numerous birds –  too many to recall. Lots of Red Kites, Black Kites, various eagles and a host of water birds.

Here’s a picture of Joe next to the tour “jeep”.
