Cattle egret eating a frog

Posted on September 27, 2026 by nick.iberianature

Cattle egret taking its time to swallow a yummy Iberian green frog in front of the spider monkey enclosure in Barcelona zoo. Several hundred grey herons, and cattle and common egrets live wild in the trees of the zoo. Whole thing took about 10 minutes.

My books

My second book Travels around the Spanish Civl War is published by Hurst. Details here.

A genuinely engrossing … highly informed road trip … [local] testimony combined with Lloyd’s research, shows that the physical and psychological scars of the civil war are still raw.’ — TLS

‘A fascinating mixture of travelogue, micro-history and reflection.’ — Literary Review

‘Truly original and, at the same time, compellingly readable. It is a real treat to be taken around Spain today in search of memories of the war by a guide as invariably knowledgeable and hawk-eyed, as funny and as sensitive, as Nick Lloyd.’ — Paul Preston

Forgotten Places: Barcelona and the Spanish Civil War Available now in print and on Kindle.
