The Goats of Cala Mesquida by phil_howcroft

The Goats of Cala Mesquida

As previously mentioned in an early picture, the wild mountain goats would drift down from the hills and rocks and venture onto the rocks and sand dunes near to the beach at our holiday resort of Cala Mesquida in Mallorca, Spain

This is a little collage of the said goats,,,a cute little baby black one, a big brown one and two having a little dispute

Hope you like this little scene of the local wildlife of North East Mallorca...strange really that 90 km's south of here the 'wildlife' in resorts such as Magaluf and Palma Nova are lots of Brits partying in the way only Brits can do (that's me being PC and none judgemental ...I'm sure you all recognise the British 'party animal').....I think I prefer the tranquil goats !!!!
Very cool!!

Well I'm with you on the goats - we accidentally ventured into Benidorm once and even during the day I couldn't cope. Not sure I'd mess with that bottom one though!

@judithg thanks Judith , yes goats on mountains and goats on the dunes have a lot more appeal to the bright neon lights and Brit bars of a 'brit resort in Spain'

Hope you had a great and restful holiday

I agree Phil & yours looks a nice peaceful place to unwind & get some sun...the goats are the evening entertainment!

Love the pair that you've caught arguing...hope you stood well back those horns look best avoided...!

I like goats - but they can be vicious!

Nice collage. Goats can be fun to watch... until they take umbrage!

Wonderful collage and selection of shots within it, Phil! Well done!
June 13th, 2012  
I prefer the goats too! The bottom image is a great action shot, well captured. The chap on the right reminds me of the time I was butted by a farm goat when I was a child - obviously never forgotten!

These are the sort of party animals I like! Not a tattoo or a lager in sight! :-) I must make a note of this place.....you mention the pines and the birds which Chris would like......the sunloungers and peace are more my style! Great pictures Phil...what happened to Ruby while you were away?
