Manolo has recently contributed to a study of Cranes by the Swedish naturalist Göran Lundin. The book is called
"Cranes-where, when and why?" Svärd & Söner, Falköping

Available in English from a German language Crane website

Thursday 1st December

Manolo was interviewed for the TV channel TELE5 on the Cranes. Although Spain is not as enthusiastic about birds as we are in the UK, there is nevertheless a regular flow of news clips about significant bird events. Another of Manolo's clips is regularly on RTVE (main national TV cannel) and on TVE Internacional, accessible in the UK if you have a satellite dish. We have some pictures from this interview.
