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.

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.
