When would be the best time to visit the Sierra de Guadarrama and Extremadura? Target species would be Spanish Eagle, Great Spotted Cuckoo, bustards and sandgrouse. I guess spring, but I have an opportunity to go this August. Any views on whether that would be OK?

I should forget the Guadarramas for your target birds and concentrate on Extremadura, they're all much easier to see there, going to be pretty hot in August though.

...and I suspect the Great Spotted Cuckoos will have gone by then too.

Yes, someone who lives locally warned me they may have gone by July when I was thinking about going then. I eventually went in April.

OK, thanks, I'll see if I can put it off until next year and head for Extremadura.
