I think that is the end of the new ones, unless I find some as yet unidentified wader

We did see a woodchat shrike whilst driving, but there was nowhere to stop

[TonyQ]

Well done on your Spanish additions 

[Galana]

Some excellent additions here for us all to enjoy and a great EBC or two.

Discomfort with the Curlew Sandpiper though. Looks like a Dunlin to me.

I will bow to your greater knowledge - already have Dunlin for this year….

[Kitsafari]

Great to see your spasms - (!!) of course you know i meant Spain - additions! That eurasian igriffon looked very low which was excellent. 

I hope we get to see these birds - all new to us.

Oh and congrats on the century.

Nice vultures pictures, I´m yet to see the Ruppell's griffon.

 

How many days did you stay in Spain?

[Tdgraves]

@pedro maia 8 nights, but the first and last days were travelling only
