Gibraltar and Apes....
The view to Morocco some 24kms away was a bit hazy but the mountains were visible if shielded by low cloud.

I had hoped for a few birds, but the best that I could muster were., White Wagtail, Robin, Black Redstart, Yellow Legged Gull and PEREGRINE.
A guided tour took in the Upper Rock Nature Reserve, the home of the famous Barbary Macaques.

It has been proven by DNA that the Macaques on Gibraltat today originated from the mountains of North Africa and are not a remnant population of the species that did once inhabit southern Europe.
