Got up early this morning, to see if i could find anything new!
|
Subalpine Warbler |
Stopped off at a spot where i had heard Nightingale & Sylvia Warblers yesterday. Again there were Nightingales singing & the Warblers too. Hung around and got some shots. Also heard a distant Golden Oriole.

Black Vulture |
Had a look around some stops in Monfrague. While at Tietar de Portillo, some Vultures (Griffons, Black & Egyptian) were circling overhead. Then one struck me as a bit different, an Eagle, but which one, i got some shots, but wasnt sure of the ID. It circled for quite a while and then disappeared into the distance.
We then decided to go to Arrocampo for the afternoon, to try for Black-shouldered Kite. No luck im afraid. New birds for the trip there were quite good though, Great Reed & Savis Warbler, Gull-billed Terns, Little Bittern and Purple Gallinule.

Spanish Imperial Eagle |
When we got back, i had chance to look at the photos of the Eagle. It turned out to be a Spanish Imperial Eagle!!! The shots were sadly against a really grey sky, typical, so not too brilliant im afraid! Later that evening, i went for a drive, to try and find Red-necked Nightjar. Disappointing really, i only heard one distant bird calling from the spot i stopped at early this morning.
