The Eastern Bonelli's Warbler at Dungeness from yesterday, first for Kent. And the Cirl Bunting from last year a few hundred metres away.

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.

10.03.2025 13:42 — 👍 0 🔁 0 💬 0 📌 0I've read that last March there were 14 in one tree at La Janda

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