Este proyecto se realizará en colaboración con el programa de voluntariado ambiental de la Consejería de Medio Ambiente de la Junta de Andalucía. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Un total de 20 avistamientos de rorcuales comunes y 13 avistamientos de cachalotes fue el balance de esta campaña de invierno para la búsqueda y el seguimiento de grandes cetáceos en el Estrecho de Gibraltar contando con el apoyo de la Dirección General de Medio Natural y Política Forestal del Ministerio de Medio Ambiente, y Medio Rural y Marino. Un equipo formado por cuatro voluntarios con experiencia en la búsqueda de cetáceos desde tierra y el equipo científico de CIRCE buscaron los animales desde los mismos puntos en los que se realizó la búsqueda en verano.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_O5pUhlIPlhA/S3lWZByoPDI/AAAAAAAAALo/K9XO3tP2x8k/s1600-h/voluntarios.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 267px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_O5pUhlIPlhA/S3lWZByoPDI/AAAAAAAAALo/K9XO3tP2x8k/s400/voluntarios.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5438473013004090418" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Esta campaña se incluye en el proyecto a largo plazo de Conservación de grandes cetáceos en el Estrecho de Gibraltar que pretende tener suficientes datos, tanto en verano como en invierno, del número de rorcuales que cruzan el Estrecho de Gibraltar, así como conocer con más precisión las fechas clave de la presencia de cachalotes en el área para poder identificar las zonas de alto riesgo de colisión entre barcos y mamíferos marinos. Durante los meses de junio y julio de 2009, CIRCE llevó a cabo la primera fase del proyecto realizando una campaña en la que se consiguieron observar 24 rorcuales comunes desde tierra.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_O5pUhlIPlhA/S3lWYvoAzFI/AAAAAAAAALg/GFpQ-arZM1Y/s1600-h/teodolito.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 267px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_O5pUhlIPlhA/S3lWYvoAzFI/AAAAAAAAALg/GFpQ-arZM1Y/s400/teodolito.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5438473008127724626" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;La técnica utilizada para conocer los datos precisos cuando se avista a un animal es mediante un teodolito, gracias al cual, se podrá conocer la posición exacta, el rumbo y la velocidad de los cetáceos, pudiendo establecer así mapas sobre los lugares donde se encuentran normalmente los animales. De la misma forma, la posición exacta de estos animales y también de numerosos barcos que cruzan el Estrecho es una buena forma de conocer la interacción existente entre mamíferos y barcos.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A pesar de las condiciones meteorológicas desastrosas de finales de 2009 y del mes de enero, esta campaña ha tenido mucho éxito a nivel de número de animales avistados. Además de los grandes mamíferos marinos se pudieron observar desde tierra varios grupos de delfinidos, como delfines mulares en 18 ocasiones, calderones comunes en 4 ocasiones y 1 grupo de delfines comunes. Otro dato relevante fue el alto número de cachalotes avistados en este periodo invernal, después de no haber observado estos animales en el Estrecho en todo el verano, a pesar de que era la costumbre en los años anteriores.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_O5pUhlIPlhA/S3lWYd_5l-I/AAAAAAAAALY/07aeDqYCxm8/s1600-h/barcos.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 267px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_O5pUhlIPlhA/S3lWYd_5l-I/AAAAAAAAALY/07aeDqYCxm8/s400/barcos.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5438473003396077538" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Este proyecto seguirá este verano con la tercera fase de seguimiento de grandes cetáceos desde tierra a través de un programa de voluntariado ambiental. Pero antes, a finales de marzo, se iniciará la primera campaña 2010 de voluntariado desde tierra de CIRCE, con la búsqueda de orcas en la ensenada de Barbate, que cuenta con el apoyo de la Consejería de Medio Ambiente Junta de Andalucía a través de su programa de voluntariado ambiental. Está abierto el plazo de solicitud para voluntarios que quieran participar en esta campaña y se podrán informar en www.circe.biz.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1'

progetto sulla balenottera comune provo una bella soddisfazione nell’essere in difficoltà a scrivere qualcosa, in difficoltà perché le cose da dire sono veramente tante. Siamo arrivati tre settimane fa, 4 partecipanti un po’ spaesati che non sapevano bene come si sarebbe concretizzato il loro lavoro. Catapultati in una località con un paesaggio mozzafiato, scoprendo ogni giorno nuove sfumature nel cielo, vedendo cavalli e vacche vivere liberi in un paradiso di verde, laddove la steppa mediterranea è diventata unica cosa con il mare. Il primo giorno accoglienza nell’ufficio adesso nostra casa dell’Istituto. Timidamente abbiamo preso contatti con tutti gli angoli dell’appartamento, della cucina con vista sull’Africa, della piccola e calda stanza da letto, dei muri pieni di immagini dei nostri cetacei. Presentazione del lavoro sul campo e prove tecniche con il teodolite, tutti molto concentrati a cercare di capire al meglio cosa e come dovevamo fare, cercando di conoscere il teodolite ascoltando le spiegazioni di Pauline, la direttrice del progetto. Prima prova sulla terrazza. Il tempo non ci è stato subito amico ma aspettando un po’ e continuando a prepararci siamo arrivati emozionati alla nostra postazione Molinos. Tutti sulla macchina CIRCE colma di attrezzatura, cibo e volontari dopo un breve simpatico e rocambolesco tragitto nella riserva dello Stretto tra vacche, cani e uccelli migratori e non arriviamo sulla postazione e prepariamo tutta l’attrezzatura. Da li iniziano le nostre giornate ad osservare e registrare il passaggio antropico e animale.  Abbiamo avuto la fortuna di vedere più balenottere attraversare lo Stretto molte dall’Atlantico al Mediterraneo e qualcuna da est a ovest. Abbiamo scoperto e siamo riusciti a seguire più soffi obliqui in tutte le direzioni, erano i capodogli che ci omaggiavano delle loro code. I globicefali onnipresenti. Tursiopi e stenelle a fare bowriding sotto i mostruosi cargo e ferry. Quando il vento, la nebbia e la pioggia ci hanno costretto a rimanere in ufficio abbiamo occupato le nostre giornate lavorando sulla foto identificazione dei globi, inserendo i dati presi su campo nel computer, ascoltando le presentazioni dei lavori di Circe ed esponendo il lavori di tesi di tutti noi partecipanti. Ieri per rendere ancora più importante questa esperienza siamo andati a mare con l’imbarcazione Elsa e con i ricercatori Circe anche se con un cielo un po’ nuvoloso e con il mare un po’ increspato abbiamo avvistato più gruppi di globi e un gruppetto di tursiopi.  Abbiamo imparato a raccogliere dati da terra, ad avvistare da una postazione fissa, ad usare il teodolite, a conoscere meglio i cetacei e a comprendere come lavorano in CIRCE ed ancora non è finita….&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3770273092567754956-766677588881752727?l=circe-volunteers-2009.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://circe-volunteers-2009.blogspot.com/feeds/766677588881752727/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://circe-volunteers-2009.blogspot.com/2009/12/alessia.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3770273092567754956/posts/default/766677588881752727'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3770273092567754956/posts/default/766677588881752727'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://circe-volunteers-2009.blogspot.com/2009/12/alessia.html' title='Alessia'/><author><name>Volunteers-Voluntarios-Bénévoles</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17558236055352893349</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3770273092567754956.post-3885736073539436543</id><published>2009-12-09T12:47:00.002+01:00</published><updated>2009-12-09T12:49:13.488+01:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Italian'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Rorcual-Fin whale-Rorqual'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Cachalote-Sperm whale-Cachalot'/><title type='text'>Eva</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Ciao a tutti,&lt;br /&gt;dopo un paio di settimane ecco vi aggiorno un pò!&lt;br /&gt;Gli ultimi giorni sono stati ricchi di animali e di avventura, ma anche un pò di brutto tempo!&lt;br /&gt;Abbiamo avvistato balenottere  entranti in Mediterraneo ma anche dirette verso l'Atlantico, capodogli, tanti capodogli e di nuovo globicegali e tursiopi.&lt;br /&gt;I giorni si stanno accorciando e diventano più freddi ma l'energia c'è sempre per svegliarsi presto ed andare nel nostro "ufficio" in collina con la nostra panoramica vista sullo stretto con davanti l'Africa che ci sorride!&lt;br /&gt;I giorni di pioggia o di forte vento li abbiamo dedicati a scoprire nuovi luoghi e nuove città, Granada, Malaga, Vejer della Frontera sono state alcune delle nostre mete, senza dimenticare però le bellissime spiaggie di Bolonia, Cano della Meca e Valdevaqueros a Tarifa.&lt;br /&gt;Le serate le passiamo nei localini di Tarifa ad ascoltare musica andalusa, blues jazz o a mangiare ottimi panini e piatti vegetariani al ristorantino veggy nella città vecchia.&lt;br /&gt;Tarifa è piena di giovani e bella gente anche in questo periodo, infatti ho deciso che quasi quasi mi trasferisco qua da marzo fino all'estate!!!

Se trata de la continuación de la campaña que este verano atrajo a más de un centenar de voluntarios hasta Tarifa.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Durante los meses de junio y julio pasados, CIRCE llevó a cabo una campaña en el Estrecho, en la que desde puntos estratégicos en tierra se consiguieron observar 24 rorcuales comunes. Este buen resultado ha propiciado que con el apoyo de la Dirección General de Medio Natural y Política Forestal del Ministerio de Medio Ambiente, y Medio Rural y Marino esta campaña tenga su continuación ahora en invierno. Un equipo formado por cuatro voluntarios con experiencia en la búsqueda de cetáceos desde tierra, y el equipo científico de CIRCE buscarán rorcuales y cachalotes desde los mismos puntos en los que se realizó la búsqueda en verano.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_uFkRHEb8JT8/SxAYqn1HtYI/AAAAAAAAAQ0/EVhg7loYq1c/s1600/1735_0890.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 267px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_uFkRHEb8JT8/SxAYqn1HtYI/AAAAAAAAAQ0/EVhg7loYq1c/s400/1735_0890.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5408850272997324162" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;El objetivo de esta campaña es tener suficientes datos, tanto en verano como en invierno, del número de rorcuales que cruzan el Estrecho de Gibraltar, así como conocer con más precisión las fechas clave de la presencia de cachalotes en el área. Así se podrán realizar planes de conservación de estas especies, conociendo su posición y rumbo normal, planes que servirán para evitar colisiones con grandes barcos. De la misma forma, ayudará a tener más información de los posibles impactos que pudiera tener una ampliación del Puerto de Tarifa.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;La técnica utilizada para conocer los datos precisos cuando se avista a un animal es mediante un teodolito, gracias al cual, se podrá conocer la posición exacta, el rumbo y la velocidad de los cetáceos, pudiendo establecer así, al fin de la campaña, un mapa concreto sobre los lugares donde se encuentran normalmente.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Otro de los objetivos de esta campaña es conocer, si sería necesario ampliar la recomendación emitida por la Dirección General de la Marina Mercante de navegar a 13 nudos de velocidad máxima por la zona sensible de grandes mamíferos marinos, que actualmente está en vigor entre los meses de abril y agosto.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3770273092567754956-2020225243048312713?l=circe-volunteers-2009.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://circe-volunteers-2009.blogspot.com/feeds/2020225243048312713/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://circe-volunteers-2009.blogspot.com/2009/11/circe-inicia-la-segunda-fase-de-la.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3770273092567754956/posts/default/2020225243048312713'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3770273092567754956/posts/default/2020225243048312713'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://circe-volunteers-2009.blogspot.com/2009/11/circe-inicia-la-segunda-fase-de-la.html' title='CIRCE inicia la segunda fase de la campaña de búsqueda de grandes cetáceos desde tierra'/><author><name>Volunteers-Voluntarios-Bénévoles</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17558236055352893349</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_uFkRHEb8JT8/SxAYqn1HtYI/AAAAAAAAAQ0/EVhg7loYq1c/s72-c/1735_0890.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3770273092567754956.post-367290456383728468</id><published>2009-09-09T19:32:00.006+02:00</published><updated>2009-09-09T19:35:38.756+02:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Français'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Rorcual-Fin whale-Rorqual'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Cachalote-Sperm whale-Cachalot'/><title type='text'>28/06-01/08: Alexandre</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Bonjour,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Voila, il y a environ un mois de cela, j 'ai passé cinq semaines vraiment formidables au sein de Circe pour le projet Grands Cétacés dans Détroit de Gibraltar. En effet, pour des raisons scolaires j'ai réalisé un stage tutoré par Pauline Gauffier (Miss grosses bestioles de la mer) dans le cadre de l'étude de la migration des rorquals communs et de la repartition des cachalots dans le détroit. Participer à ce projet fut une réelle expérience de ce que peut etre le monde de la recherche, le suivi de projet au sein d'une association et fut très enrichissant pour mois. Surtout, et bien sur le plus palpitant c'est de voir les rorquals, dauphins, globicéphales, (cachalots si vous avez de la chance car la ils semblaient vouloir se cacher de nous...) enfin toutes ces petites bestioles marines si adorables. L'équipe de Circe est vraiment génial et très conviviale, toujours prète à rendre service et à organiser des barbecue party ou sortir boire un verre à Tarifa apres une dure journée à scruter le détroit à la recherche de rorquals quelquefois un peu timides. Enfin que du bonheur la vie en groupe dans un apart vraiment sympa tout pres de la plage avec des  filles adorables(et oui y avait que des filles!). Donc voila tout ca pour dire merci Circe, de m'avoir permis d'intégrer le projet et de veiller à ce que tout ce passe au mieux et donc petit mot pour les futurs volontaires n'hésitez pas ça en vaut la peine, si vous aimez la mer, les animaux, la recherche et aussi la bonne ambiance et la chaleur de l'Espagne, ce projet est réellement pour vous.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Alexandre&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3770273092567754956-367290456383728468?l=circe-volunteers-2009.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://circe-volunteers-2009.blogspot.com/feeds/367290456383728468/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://circe-volunteers-2009.blogspot.com/2009/09/2806-0108-alexandre.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3770273092567754956/posts/default/367290456383728468'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3770273092567754956/posts/default/367290456383728468'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://circe-volunteers-2009.blogspot.com/2009/09/2806-0108-alexandre.html' title='28/06-01/08: Alexandre'/><author><name>Volunteers-Voluntarios-Bénévoles</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17558236055352893349</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3770273092567754956.post-2235236909752273314</id><published>2009-08-17T17:33:00.007+02:00</published><updated>2009-08-17T17:50:46.832+02:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Español'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Rorcual-Fin whale-Rorqual'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Cachalote-Sperm whale-Cachalot'/><title type='text'>12-25/07: Inma</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Queridos amigos,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;tuvo que pasar un mes desde que dejé Tarifa para ser capaz de escribir estas lineas; no fue por pereza, ni porque sea vaga y, ni mucho menos, porque no tenga nada que aportar con mi experiencia en CIRCE; más bien se trata de todo lo contrario y, mi deseo de no caer en una sensiblería extrema, ni en grandes sentimentalismos me ha llevado a posponer esta tarea hasta el día de hoy.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A menos de 48 horas de haber comenzado mi estancia en Tarifa ya había vivido el momento más “mágico” de mis días allí y, probablemente, los instantes más emocionantes de toda mi vida.

On all three counts I wasn’t disappointed. There were plenty of nights out with friends, old and new, I’m returning home a nice healthy shade of bright pink and between the cetaceans, birds and even the odd mongoose I saw some really great wildlife.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The first thing the hits you when you arrive in Tarifa, is that for every 4 people in the town there’s one kite surfing shop.  With a long sandy beach and the warm sea, Tarifa is a lively place to be on a windy day, which is great because there are lots of windy days.  But on calm days it’s off to the survey site to look for fin whales.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The cliff top is a great place to be as long as you don’t mind armies of little red spiders or the long bumpy drive to get there, which I didn’t. You get a chance to see some of the really great birds that live by and migrate across the strait. Booted eagles, short toes eagles, griffon vultures, black kites, white storks, lesser kestrels and honey buzzards were all firsts for me and you get to see plenty of them here. On my final day a woodchat shrike popped up in front of us met with the sudden reaction of “what the hell is that?” After a few days on the mountain you begin to feel like you’re really doing something positive for the local ecology. And that positive thing is providing food for about a million horrible little mosquitoes that have evolved to feed almost exclusively on Circe volunteers. But when you see a whale it’s all worth it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I’m used to doing land based surveys on my own and it was a nice change to have all the other volunteers with me to talk to during the days on the mountain. There was even a French lesson or two in the quieter moments (it’s amazing what people will say after long exposure to sunlight). For the first few days we went home without seeing any whales but on the 4th day the weather was good and after a couple of hours without success we got the call that the other survey team had spotted two fin whales heading on our direction. Before long I heard the only word anybody looking for whales wants to hear, BLOW! We tracked the whales for nearly three hours, including a few hairy minutes where it looked like they might be hit by a tanker but they were fine. Since then 11 other fin whales have passed through the straight while being watched by Circe and better still by me.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Volunteering at Circe has been great fun. Huge thanks to Pauline and Fil for asking me to come and to all the others who have made my month here so enjoyable. I won’t list you all cause I can’t spell you names but you know who you are.  I’ll miss lots of things about Tarifa when I’m sitting in the Irish rain: the sun shine, the wildlife, the night life, swimming in warm water, looking at cetaceans and working on my tan at the same time, driving on the right  and little lince the kitten who woke me up every single night since he arrived and let’s not forget the patatas bravas.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3770273092567754956-6283912096516279153?l=circe-volunteers-2009.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://circe-volunteers-2009.blogspot.com/feeds/6283912096516279153/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://circe-volunteers-2009.blogspot.com/2009/06/3105-2706-ronan.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3770273092567754956/posts/default/6283912096516279153'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3770273092567754956/posts/default/6283912096516279153'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://circe-volunteers-2009.blogspot.com/2009/06/3105-2706-ronan.html' title='31/05-27/06: Ronan'/><author><name>Volunteers-Voluntarios-Bénévoles</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17558236055352893349</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3770273092567754956.post-5492046705519811992</id><published>2009-06-23T19:08:00.003+02:00</published><updated>2009-06-30T20:41:07.256+02:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Español'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Rorcual-Fin whale-Rorqual'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Cachalote-Sperm whale-Cachalot'/><title type='text'>14-20/06: Esmeralda</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Queridos Rorcuales:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ya terminó mi breve estancia en Tarifa acompañando a CIRCE.

Por fin decidisteis mostraros. Tras una semana observándonos tímidamente, decidisteis despedirme de la mejor manera: cruzando el Estrecho. Nosotros, con ayuda de los prismáticos, os hemos acompañado cada momento, cada soplo.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Debo deciros que sois muy afortunados, porque hay mucha gente que cuida de vosotros, gente que llega de lugares muy distintos, muy diferentes. El destino quizás ha querido que sea en el estrecho, donde se mezclan aire, agua, culturas...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Espero que mi aventura en CIRCE no haya terminado, ya que quiero volver en otra ocasión.&lt;br /&gt;No tengo nada más que deciros, espero que os vaya bien en vuestro largo viaje, y cuando paséis por el Estrecho, recordad que habrá alguien en la montaña buscando alguna señal de vuestro paso, así que no olvidéis respirar bien fuerte.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Os quiero, Esmeralda.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;PD: Nunca olvidaré esta magnífica semana en Tarifa.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3770273092567754956-5492046705519811992?l=circe-volunteers-2009.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://circe-volunteers-2009.blogspot.com/feeds/5492046705519811992/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://circe-volunteers-2009.blogspot.com/2009/06/14-2006-esmeralda.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3770273092567754956/posts/default/5492046705519811992'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3770273092567754956/posts/default/5492046705519811992'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://circe-volunteers-2009.blogspot.com/2009/06/14-2006-esmeralda.html' title='14-20/06: Esmeralda'/><author><name>Volunteers-Voluntarios-Bénévoles</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17558236055352893349</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3770273092567754956.post-6790836789307557688</id><published>2009-06-23T18:58:00.004+02:00</published><updated>2009-06-30T20:40:49.458+02:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Français'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Rorcual-Fin whale-Rorqual'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Cachalote-Sperm whale-Cachalot'/><title type='text'>31/05-20/06: Amélie</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;C'est toujours un grand plaisir pour moi de retrouver l'équipe de CIRCE et de les accompagner dans leurs projets sur les grosses bêtes du détroit de Gibraltar. Cette année, 3e séjour, un mois environ, durant lequel j'ai participé au projet sur les orques et à celui sur les rorquals et les cachalots. Vaste programme durant lequel il y aura eu beaucoup de moments magiques, notamment ma première observation de rorquals !!!!. Mes premières baleines, finalement, que d'émotions...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Et puis depuis la montagne, il y aura aussi eu de belles observations d'oiseaux, ce qui ne gâche rien.

Un joyeux mélange qui rend les journées sur la montagne moins longues lorsque les rorquals se font discrets, et les soirées et les week-ends (beaucoup) plus animés.

C'est donc avec un grand enthousiasme que j'ai participé à ce projet et que j'ai tracké les rorquals et cachalots du haut de la montagne, avec les jumelles et la longue vue. Je n'oublierai jamais la joie intense que j'ai ressentie la première fois que j'ai pu voir le souffle d'un rorqual, puis une partie de son corps sortir de l'eau !!! J'ai de plus beaucoup appris sur les protocoles de suivis des mammifères marins, sur l'utilisation du théodolite, le type d'exploitation de résultats qu'on peut en faire, etc.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_uFkRHEb8JT8/SkdVq92qObI/AAAAAAAAAOU/rbZjSbIJ7-A/s1600-h/julie2.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 266px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_uFkRHEb8JT8/SkdVq92qObI/AAAAAAAAAOU/rbZjSbIJ7-A/s400/julie2.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5352340878799813042" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Et puis ce séjour fut également une aventure humaine très intéressante : les volontaires venant du monde entier, ça a été l'occasion de parler plusieurs langues (enfin d'essayer!!), d'échanger nos expériences, de faire de belles rencontres.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Un grand merci à l'équipe de CIRCE qui a su mettre une ambiance de travail agréable, et qui a également su géré les moments où la météo ne permettait pas d'aller sur le terrain, avec des sorties ornitho ou de visite de village alentour !

J’ai pu travailler mon anglais et mon espagnol par le fait que les volontaires venaient des quatre coins du monde. De plus le travail en lui même était très intéressant.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_uFkRHEb8JT8/Sj9dWEdN9BI/AAAAAAAAAL0/Hd46QZTaDTQ/s1600-h/mathieu1.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 313px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_uFkRHEb8JT8/Sj9dWEdN9BI/AAAAAAAAAL0/Hd46QZTaDTQ/s400/mathieu1.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5350097516074234898" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;J’ai appris à utiliser un théodolite et à mieux connaitre les rorquals. En effet nous localisions les baleines à l’aide de jumelles et d’un télescope. C’est alors qu’intervient le théodolite pour tracer et situer précisément la migration des rorquals.

Durante este tiempo se han realizado seis avistamientos de orcas desde tierra, un dato muy positivo a tenor del escaso número de días que se han podido buscar estos colosos del mar debido a inclemencias meteorológicas. La metodología a seguir, tal y como explica Ruth Esteban, la responsable de este primer paso del proyecto, “ha sido una experiencia interesante, ya que desde el Parque Natural de la Breña, a 35 metros sobre el nivel del mar hay una buena perspectiva de la Ensenada de Barbate, y es un buen sitio para identificar las orcas, aunque también vimos algún día delfines mulares y delfines comunes, especies muy asiduas a esta zona”.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;En total, han sido seis los días que se han visto las orcas, “todos ellos, días de viento no muy fuerte, las hemos visto con levante y con poniente, y siempre alrededor de la almadraba de Barbate. Lo del viento no es algo a tener en cuenta, ya que con viento fuerte, simplemente es que no se ven por el mal estado de la mar”.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Por otro lado, un dato que ha llamado mucho la atención es que durante la segunda semana de mayo, se realizaron avistamientos múltiples de diferentes especies, algo que dejó de suceder coincidiendo con maniobras militares en la zona, que se prolongaron durante una semana.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Durante esta campaña, también ha habido días de búsqueda de orcas desde Conil, si bien en esta localidad se hacían en el Paseo Marítimo, en un paso elevado, “y aquí se notaba el interés de la gente que pasaba por ahí de lo que estábamos haciendo”.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ahora le toca el turno al Estrecho de Gibraltar, y a la búsqueda e identificación de grandes cetáceos desde el Parque Natural del Estrecho, en concreto de cachalotes y rorcuales comunes, un proyecto, que cuenta con el apoyo de Caja Mediterráneo, y que terminará el próximo 30 de julio. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3770273092567754956-8301367572009018029?l=circe-volunteers-2009.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://circe-volunteers-2009.blogspot.com/feeds/8301367572009018029/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://circe-volunteers-2009.blogspot.com/2009/06/fin-del-proyecto-de-orcas.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3770273092567754956/posts/default/8301367572009018029'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3770273092567754956/posts/default/8301367572009018029'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://circe-volunteers-2009.blogspot.com/2009/06/fin-del-proyecto-de-orcas.html' title='FIN DEL PROYECTO DE ORCAS-END OF THE KILLER WHALE SESSION'/><author><name>Conservación, Información y Estudios sobre Cetáceos</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/04818023932735938813</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='33' height='26' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_O5pUhlIPlhA/SbbdTTkDQHI/AAAAAAAAADQ/m1gGTpvkt7Y/S220/logo_circe_sp.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3770273092567754956.post-8738918051817684540</id><published>2009-05-27T19:05:00.004+02:00</published><updated>2009-06-30T20:37:05.113+02:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Orca-Killer whale-Orque'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='whales'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='English'/><title type='text'>10-16/05: Samantha</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_uFkRHEb8JT8/SiAOfD23xBI/AAAAAAAAALE/hzWTvKO8uOU/s1600-h/sam.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor: pointer; width: 342px; height: 400px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_uFkRHEb8JT8/SiAOfD23xBI/AAAAAAAAALE/hzWTvKO8uOU/s400/sam.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5341285084835595282" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Wednesday 13th May 2009&lt;br /&gt;Today we headed over to the Conil observation point further North up the coast. Although CIRCE has not yet observed Orca there the local fishermen have informed us of their presence around the almadraba here, therefore this site has only recently been added to the study.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Unfortunately the sea state wasn’t particularly good when we arrived and by midday had risen so much to impede all observation effort. As frustrating as this was for us we were all still smiling because of our previous days observations: a group of six Orca at the la Brena observation point.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On the way back to the volunteer house from Conil we stopped off at the Almadraba info centre. I found this really helpful as the information gave me an understanding of the fishing practice and highlighted the sustainable practice of this particular method.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_uFkRHEb8JT8/Sh10_GtOT7I/AAAAAAAAAK8/_l67CKKfub4/s1600-h/DSCN0456_resize.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor: pointer; width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_uFkRHEb8JT8/Sh10_GtOT7I/AAAAAAAAAK8/_l67CKKfub4/s400/DSCN0456_resize.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5340553360612151218" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt; view from La Roca&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Later on that afternoon a few of the volunteers took the car across along the coast down to the La Roca observation Point in the town of Zahara. This ‘Rock’ has a great view across the Bay of Barbate standing above the almadraba of Zahara and also has a distant view of the Barbate net that the La Brena site looks over. If you climb down the face of the ‘Rock’ you can enter a small sheltered cave where there are cave drawings from the Venetians around 3000 years old!

He pasado esta semana en CIRCE en el proyecto que ya muchos conocéis. Avistamiento de ORCAS.&lt;br /&gt;Para los que aun no sepáis del tema, ha sido una experiencia maravillosa, que me ha permitido conocer aspectos de estos mamíferos que desconocía.&lt;br /&gt;Para el avistamiento hay que tener mucha paciencia y buen ojo. Los materiales nos los presta CIRCE, que previamente nos hace unas presentaciones para conocimiento de las ORCAS.&lt;br /&gt;A las 9:00 hay que estar en el punto de avistamiento, con lo que hemos salido todos los días a las 8:20 horas de la mañana (el madrugon es lo que peor he llevado, sinceramente). Una vez allí anotamos las condiciones meteorológicas (viento, fuerza, dirección, olas, nubes…) y comenzamos el avistamiento mediante binoculares y telescopios. Dicho avistamiento es hasta las 17:00 horas.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_uFkRHEb8JT8/ShHMUcGNi5I/AAAAAAAAAKk/iv4b7kM04As/s1600-h/DSC01039.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_uFkRHEb8JT8/ShHMUcGNi5I/AAAAAAAAAKk/iv4b7kM04As/s400/DSC01039.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5337271684922444690" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Después se vuelve a la casa y cada uno tiene tiempo libre hasta el momento de hacer la cena.  La organización es buena, pues se hacen grupos de trabajo en la casa, con lo que te permite tener tiempo libre.&lt;br /&gt;Esta semana hemos visto Orcas dos días, ayer y hoy; es difícil verlas, como he dicho antes. Fijaos si sobre la superficie aparece algo negro con forma de aleta (pero no os confundáis con las boyas negras de la almadraba; ya os explicaran esto último).&lt;br /&gt;Turnaros el telescopio para que todo el mundo pueda mirar por el y a disfrutar.&lt;br /&gt;Si tenéis la suerte de coincidir con José (de Jerez), lo pasareis muy bien, porque dedica parte de su tiempo (a partir de las 17:00) a enseñaros Barbate y sus alrededores (Atlanterra…)&lt;br /&gt;Ah! Se me olvidaba. Los puntos de avistamiento son tres: La Breña, Conil y (La Roca); esta ultima esta en Zahara de los Atunes; los monitores dividen los grupos ya que si no se ven orcas, podrían verse en otro.  Yo no he llegado a conocer Conil pero si estáis más de una semana seguro que podréis avistar desde los tres puntos.&lt;br /&gt;Disfrutad de vuestra estancia.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_uFkRHEb8JT8/ShHFsel_WlI/AAAAAAAAAJs/B9_ja4r3EqI/s1600-h/group.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_uFkRHEb8JT8/ShHFsel_WlI/AAAAAAAAAJs/B9_ja4r3EqI/s400/group.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5337264401328069202" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;en el Tapeo&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3770273092567754956-1182167659728264048?l=circe-volunteers-2009.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://circe-volunteers-2009.blogspot.com/feeds/1182167659728264048/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://circe-volunteers-2009.blogspot.com/2009/05/10-1605-silvia.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3770273092567754956/posts/default/1182167659728264048'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3770273092567754956/posts/default/1182167659728264048'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://circe-volunteers-2009.blogspot.com/2009/05/10-1605-silvia.html' title='10-16/05: Silvia'/><author><name>Volunteers-Voluntarios-Bénévoles</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17558236055352893349</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_uFkRHEb8JT8/ShHH92szmAI/AAAAAAAAAJ8/e_7ctSV-Q5E/s72-c/P5130270.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3770273092567754956.post-8472781746809369198</id><published>2009-05-08T21:38:00.002+02:00</published><updated>2009-06-30T20:36:09.044+02:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Orca-Killer whale-Orque'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Español'/><title type='text'>03-09/05 : Virginia</title><content type='html'>LEVANTE&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;El levante ha estado soplando fuerte toda la semana, y nos ha dejado de regalo los primeros calores de la temporada, los primeros bañitos en la playa… un montón de borreguitos en el mar y ¡ni una sola orca para matar el gusanito!

J’ai donc décidé de vivre cette expérience et de profiter d’un temps libre entre deux Jobs. Au depart, c’était les oiseaux qui m’intéressaient mais quand je suis tombée par hasard et sur google sur la mission de CIRCE sur les orques je me suis inscrite. J’aime beaucoup la mer, la vie au grand air, l’Espagne et parle espagnol. Malgré mon grand âge, 59 ans, j’ai été acceptée.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Avec le groupe, majoritairement des étudiants, nous avons scruté la mer depuis trois points d’observation différents. Las, en une semaine, nous n’avons vu que trois orques enfin 3 nageoires dorsales. Il faut donc dire que les filets de l’Almadraba qui servent à capturer le thon rouge sont en pleine mer et donc au loin… et même avec les jumelles… qu’importe si à defaut d'orques j’ai vu une Andalousie inhabituelle aussi verte que la Galice, un ocean indigo au Turquoise, les fleurs parées de leurs plus belles couleurs, entendu de multiples chants d’oiseaux, assisté au ballet des barques des pêcheurs d’Almadraba, vu les thons de 200 kgs pêchés. En Bref, une petite semaine entre parenthèses sous un gran soleil, un ciel d’un pur azur sans nuages chassés par le vent souvent présent.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;France&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3770273092567754956-7925529593095873135?l=circe-volunteers-2009.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://circe-volunteers-2009.blogspot.com/feeds/7925529593095873135/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://circe-volunteers-2009.blogspot.com/2009/05/2604-0205-france.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3770273092567754956/posts/default/7925529593095873135'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3770273092567754956/posts/default/7925529593095873135'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://circe-volunteers-2009.blogspot.com/2009/05/2604-0205-france.html' title='26/04-02/05 : France'/><author><name>Volunteers-Voluntarios-Bénévoles</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17558236055352893349</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_uFkRHEb8JT8/SgSKB7Mat4I/AAAAAAAAAJk/f2oCxjDrGuQ/s72-c/France.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3770273092567754956.post-123189142743217970</id><published>2009-05-08T21:23:00.003+02:00</published><updated>2009-06-30T20:35:33.701+02:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Orca-Killer whale-Orque'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Español'/><title type='text'>26/04-02/05 : Natalia</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_uFkRHEb8JT8/SgSIMv3HrII/AAAAAAAAAJc/GZYYDPZgC7Y/s1600-h/Natalia.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 267px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_uFkRHEb8JT8/SgSIMv3HrII/AAAAAAAAAJc/GZYYDPZgC7Y/s400/Natalia.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5333537611300973698" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;Natalia&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;Desde hace tiempo tenía la intención de asistir a un programa de voluntariado cuando ví la noticia que habría uno en España no dude un segundo en separar un lugar (ya que vivo en Madrid!). Desde el primer mail con la respuesta de si hay una plaza para ti, la emoción y expectativa comenzó. A prepara el viaje y listo rumbo al sur. Cuando llegué me encontré con gente cálida y un ambiente de costa increíble. El clima el primer día no fue favorable para observar el mar así que dimos un paseo por los alrededores, vimos aves y el calor del sur comenzó a abrasarnos. De ahí para adelante los días pasaron enfrente del mar y mientra deseábamos que las orcas se dejaran ver, vimos el funcionamiento de la almadraba (arte de pesca enfocado al atún rojo), aves por todos lados, andaluces y extranjeros amables que pasaban sorprendidos al ver un grupo de jóvenes con cámaras y equipos mirando el mar. Finalmente y en el último día de observación Ruth dice: “las veo” y la emoción de saber que las tan anheladas orcas estaban allí es única, a enfocarlos y a tomas datos. Maravilloso!. Quiero aprovechar este espacio, para agradecer a las personas de CIRCE por darme y ofrecer esta oportunidad de trabajar en campo, conocer nuevas personas y poner un granito de arena a la investigación en el tema de los cetáceos que tanta paciencia y esfuerzo requiere.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Natalia Fraija Fernández&lt;br /&gt;Bióloga Marina&lt;br /&gt;Colombia&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3770273092567754956-123189142743217970?l=circe-volunteers-2009.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://circe-volunteers-2009.blogspot.com/feeds/123189142743217970/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://circe-volunteers-2009.blogspot.com/2009/05/2604-0205-natalia.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3770273092567754956/posts/default/123189142743217970'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3770273092567754956/posts/default/123189142743217970'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://circe-volunteers-2009.blogspot.com/2009/05/2604-0205-natalia.html' title='26/04-02/05 : Natalia'/><author><name>Volunteers-Voluntarios-Bénévoles</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17558236055352893349</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_uFkRHEb8JT8/SgSIMv3HrII/AAAAAAAAAJc/GZYYDPZgC7Y/s72-c/Natalia.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3770273092567754956.post-7067268769977863177</id><published>2009-05-08T21:12:00.005+02:00</published><updated>2009-06-30T20:35:20.050+02:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Orca-Killer whale-Orque'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='whales'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='English'/><title type='text'>12/04 -2/05 : Tilen</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_uFkRHEb8JT8/SgSGalUNDYI/AAAAAAAAAJU/9kxWNMs1aj4/s1600-h/Tilen.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor: pointer; width: 267px; height: 400px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_uFkRHEb8JT8/SgSGalUNDYI/AAAAAAAAAJU/9kxWNMs1aj4/s400/Tilen.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5333535649965084034" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Tilen&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Here I am, back to Slovenia. I am happy to be home again, but I am also sad not to be in "La Oliva" anymore. It became like a home to me. A funny, sometimes strange home, but a home nonetheless. :) I honestly had a great time in Spain! I learned a lot, life-wise! And of course, I could learn Spanish! Como no?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well, I won't give you the classic "wow, I had an amazing time (although I did!) seeing lots of orcas (well, that's because we did not see lots...) and learning how to recognize individual whales and dolphins" type of blog. Instead, I will dwell on my own memories of my time with the CIRCE &amp;amp; Co. team.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On my first night there, among the "veterans", I won my first (and only one we played, for that matter!) game of Parchis! :) Yay! Hahaha, you guys got your asses kicked by the Slovenian guy! :P If some of you readers don't know what parchis is, and if you really wish to know, send an e-mail to voluntariado@circe-asso.org and they will be happy to explain it to you!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The fieldwork was always interesting. Sometimes we were watching the blank horizon of the sea, at other times we were watching dolphins, occasionally (no, actually a lot!) we would be watching the passing birds or chicas (Hola chicas, que tal?). There was always something to do, especially when a few crazy people (Ruth, Tuca, myself, Ambra and Jose) get together and make the best out of the given day. Oh, and in the end, we did watch orcas as well. I think we could also make a movie from all the video footage we took. It is actually pretty amazing!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I liked learning "the way that the Spanish do it" and that refers to everything, especially partying. :) It was quite funny being our on a Friday night. Only two songs were not Spanish and only two songs were not raeggaton. Everybody knew all the songs, except Ambra and me. :) When a new song came up and everybody in the place went like "Yeeeeeeee!!", only Ambra and I were like "Ermm.......ok." Luckily, Jose was there by my side, telling me the lyrics just before they came up, so that I could sing along with the rest of the people ("Baila"...... BAILA!!........ "Morena"....... MORENA!!....... Caliente...... CALIENTE MUCHO!!). It is so strange back home now, where dinners are actually BEFORE 11pm...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Barbate is a very nice, calm and friendly town. I got offered drugs 3 times during my stay. I started to wonder whether I really look like a drug addict or someone who likes to smoke joint...&lt;br /&gt;Really, I had such a great time in the project. I didn't just feel like part of the team.... I felt like part of the family. Ruth, Ambra, Tuca and Jose (which are the ones who were there throughout my stay in Spain - no offence to other participants who were there with me on a shorter period) became "my flock", my team, my temporary family. I love all of you very much! Thank you for everything! I do miss you all.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As I promised (or threatened?) Ruth already, I am definitely coming back again.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Tilen&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3770273092567754956-7067268769977863177?l=circe-volunteers-2009.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://circe-volunteers-2009.blogspot.com/feeds/7067268769977863177/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://circe-volunteers-2009.blogspot.com/2009/05/2904-tilen.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3770273092567754956/posts/default/7067268769977863177'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3770273092567754956/posts/default/7067268769977863177'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://circe-volunteers-2009.blogspot.com/2009/05/2904-tilen.html' title='12/04 -2/05 : Tilen'/><author><name>Volunteers-Voluntarios-Bénévoles</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17558236055352893349</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_uFkRHEb8JT8/SgSGalUNDYI/AAAAAAAAAJU/9kxWNMs1aj4/s72-c/Tilen.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3770273092567754956.post-3570852945795981153</id><published>2009-04-30T10:59:00.006+02:00</published><updated>2009-06-30T20:35:01.275+02:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Orca-Killer whale-Orque'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='whales'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='English'/><title type='text'>29-04-09 : Dagmar</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;I was very relieved when I finally set foot in “ Casa Isabel”. Not speaking a word of Spanish makes travelling here tricky, and even more so after spending a sleepless night in Glasgow Airport. But I made it in one piece and everyone was very welcoming. Ruth (the boss-lady) explained about her project and our role as volunteers and next morning we were off to search for the orcas.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Apart from scanning the sea, I also hope to catch a glimpse of migrating birds that come from Africa. They use the air currents to travel long distances and try to cross the narrowest bit of sea, and that is more or less here. The first Spanish word I learned is “milano negro”, or black kite, because we saw one on my first day.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;However, while my bird sightings list is growing steadily day by day, we still had to spot our first orcas. Some volunteers came and went without seeing them at all and Ruth was getting a bit worried she wasn’t getting any other data then “0”. Yesterday started off no different. Three of us were at la Rocca and the others in Brena. It was very windy and surprisingly cold (coming from the North of Scotland I’m already burnt bright red and find it very hot during the day). Our group at La Roca was about to give up when we got a call from Ruth: orca in sight! As we couldn’t see it from our position, we raced to join the others and sure enough, there they were. Three of them close to the Almadraba, minding their own business going from one end to the other, milling and even feeding.

Ruth and Pauline that are running the programme are very knowledgeable on their subject and we had some really interesting and educational presentations on the work they have been involved with within the Straights of Gibraltar.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;At its shorted point, it is a mere 14km across the Straights of Gibralter to the African mainland. Being the shortest route for migratory birds to and from Africa, determines this area as an absolute Mecca for birdwatchers. On Tuesday a very windswept but worthwhile walk to the Marismas de Barbate National Park (which is a vast area of marshland) left us all with colourful complexions if nothing else! We had fantastic sightings of the critically endangered bald ibis. There are less than 200 of these prehistoric looking birds in the world. We also had regular views of the gigantic white stork with the impressive wingspan of over 2 metres! (215cm to be precise). The elusive Stonechat brought welcome attention with its striking black and white mask with red belly.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Griffon vulture&lt;/span&gt;

We all had quite a baffling experience when a large bird with what appeared to have the colouration of a gannet came flying over us from the sea. I then realised it was actually a raptor and was indeed a Booted eagle &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Hieraaetus pennatus &lt;/span&gt;Aguila calzada which then proceeded to hunt within our view for over an hour and was still soaring in view when we drove home! The drive home also produced several Goldfinches.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;All in all, despite the wind I (and Úrsula and José and Elena and María!) had a fab time and saw so much wildlife I am most definitely a happy bunny.

Once everyone had arrived to the volunteer house with its lovely enclosed gardens and swimming pool, Ruth gave us presentations on the project we had signed up for, and her PhD “The ecology of the Killer whales of Southern Spain”. Both highly interesting!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_uFkRHEb8JT8/ScVETWSjPXI/AAAAAAAAADM/7-xvO78lryA/s1600-h/group1.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_uFkRHEb8JT8/ScVETWSjPXI/AAAAAAAAADM/7-xvO78lryA/s320/group1.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5315730034372328818" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;first bunch of vollies: Sarah, Emilie, Ursula, Elena, Pauline, Maria, Jose, Ruth (© CIRCE)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;We were then spoiled with a traditional Spanish tortilla and a very tasty “topical” tuna salad! After a long day travelling for most, we headed to bed to be up bright and early in the morning for our first day on observation.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;La Roca (The rock) of Zahara de los Atunes (Zahara of the Tuna) was our first destination. From this point there are wonderful views of Altanterras, Zahara and Barbate in the distance. It is also the perfect vantage point to see the Almadraba (Tuna trap net) fishery within the Straights in action. You can see for miles so you would be hard pushed not to spot a Killer whale on a good day. Here, Pauline showed us all how to set up the theodolite.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_uFkRHEb8JT8/ScVETSMovDI/AAAAAAAAADU/Fpa4axO2WCY/s1600-h/theo2.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_uFkRHEb8JT8/ScVETSMovDI/AAAAAAAAADU/Fpa4axO2WCY/s320/theo2.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5315730033273781298" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;theo-Sarah, bino-Jose and Ruth at La Breña (© CIRCE)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;The wind was pretty strong with the sea state reaching higher than a 6 so after a couple of hours observing we packed up and drove across to La Breña, the other vantage point of the Killer whale project. This is nestled right in the La Breña National park, and very beautiful it is too. Perfectly sheltered but also really wild with fantastic views. The wild flowers are in full swing, along with many very colourful and active butterflies.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_uFkRHEb8JT8/ScVETvvU66I/AAAAAAAAADc/RbJGDSEPKNA/s1600-h/spotter3.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_uFkRHEb8JT8/ScVETvvU66I/AAAAAAAAADc/RbJGDSEPKNA/s320/spotter3.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5315730041203911586" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ursula, Maria and Emilie searching the killer whales at La Breña (© CIRCE)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;One thing I did notice about today was the volume of seabirds. Although we are quite set back from the sea and it is difficult to observe diversity of seabird species, it is obvious by the volume of wildlife throughout the whole Barbate inlet, this is a very rich and busy area.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Unfortunately the sea was not abating so we finished the day early. The forecast is not good for the next few days, but even if we get out to observe for a few hours each day I will be happy. Both vantage points have fantastic views, and I would be happy to sit for hours on end watching the gannets in their element and waiting for what we are all here for!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Below is a list of bird species we observed on our first day:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Gannet &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Morus bassanus&lt;/span&gt; Alcatraz Atlántico (LOTS of them diving!)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Little Egret&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Egretta garzetta&lt;/span&gt; Garceta Comũn&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Cormorant&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Phalocrocorax Carbo&lt;/span&gt; Cormorán Grande&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Black Stork&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Ciconia nigra&lt;/span&gt; Cigűena Negra (X6 flew tight over our heads!)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Swallow&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Hirundo rustica&lt;/span&gt; Golondrina Comũn&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Lesser kestrel&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Falco naumanni&lt;/span&gt; Cernicalo Primilla&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Yellow legged&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;gull&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Larus Cachinnans&lt;/span&gt; Gaviota Patiamarilla&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Lesser black backed gull&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Larus fuscus&lt;/span&gt; Gaviota sombria&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Yellow wagtail&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Motacilla flava&lt;/span&gt; Lavandera boyera  This could not be determined as a definite sighting.
