I must remember to take one of the side in future for identification purposes but there were no leaves on it, just the buds you see from above..
We went to the bird sanctuary at El Hondo yesterday, spent 30 mins driving there to be told by a couple of twitchers that all the birds left last week after the heavy rain.
Just my luck ...
Still, at least we managed to give the mossies a meal while we were there.
When I first saw the flower pic, I thought it might be Garlic. Are there many flowers atop a single stem?I must remember to take one of the side in future for identification purposes but there were no leaves on it, just the buds you see from above..

If so, it's probably Naples Garlic (Allium neapolitanum). Grows to about 30cm tall with only a few leaves with flowers about 15mm across. If I'm right, crush a leaf and smell it, the aroma will probably be familiar to you .

I believe there is one next year at San Javier. I went to the last one in June 2006, it was called Aire 06 (search the net for details)and was the biggest display in Europe that year to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the Patrulla Aguila display team. A great day out. All of the displays were over the Mar Menor so there was plenty of room for spectators.
See video.
I can't find any info on the web about it but as it happens, the tenants living in my other house are both pilots, and one is a well known British stunt pilot. He intends to fly his newly acquired Christen Eagle stunt biplane at the event. I'll get more details from him and pass them on.
My next door neighbour is a Learjet pilot too, I'll ask him if he has any info when he comes out at Christmas.
Alternatively, email [email protected] for any details.
With regard to 'proper' displays, if you'd seen these model jets flying, apart from their size you'd have believed them to be real, believe me. They looked and sounded like the real thing, only smaller. One was a Mig something or other and the other was a Eurofighter. It was a spectacular show including a display from a parashoot team and of course, Eagle Patrol for the finale.

Mike,
Flower ID would be much easier with a shot of the whole plant/tree and some pics of the leaves.

Now you can all try to say it properly together.
One thing to remember with French: the letters sound the same in a word as they sound in the alphabet, unlike English where a letter can be pronounced about ten different ways. And then they say French is hard to learn. I wish English was as easy to learn as French!

But it is always nice to put, if not a face, then at least a place, to the names. And interesting to note the small linguistic challenges as pointed out by Gwyn.
Thank you all

Thanks Kris. I took around 450 shots that day. I've whittled them down to 250 so far with a bit more pruning to do before PP.Some great shots there. K.

EDIT: Comment deleted as the information I gave was inaccurate. Bad information is worse than no information.

How about this one.
It's a model Christen Eagle II.
The model show was at Alcantarilla Air Force base here in Murcia, Spain, a few weeks ago. Some very impressive model jets flying, but I didn't use the DA* 300mm for them .
To see more images of this event taken with the DA* 300mm lens, visit here. All images shot with K10D + DA*300mm, PP'd in Lightroom 2.1
The jets in formation are real aircraft collectively known as Patrulla Įguila (Eagle Patrol), Spain's version of the Red Arrows.

Who's forgotten to take his medication today then?

Does anybody else have this problem?
I've removed the plugins, removed LR 2.1, reloaded 2.0 (same problem), reloaded 2.1 (same problem).
