Almost at the end of my Spain visit as I look at crossing the Pyrenees. 258 bird species noted in 2 months and that's missing 30-50 easily getable. Spain is still the best birding destination in Europe. After a 5 year hiatus, I hope to be back again later this year.

Took a long time but eventually encountered White-backed Woodpeckers in Spain today. Will try to get photos again tomorrow. A species with a remarkable range

One morning off from rain and the Short-toed Eagles took their chance. I conservatively marked 380 but I'm sure thousands crossed the Strait today. Also, 300 Black Kites, one Alimoche, two Osprey.

There were six Little Buntings in one tree on La Janda. Could still be more present. Also, several Rustic Buntings
