Too Many Little Brown-Gray Birds, Garraf Massif Coast, Spain, November III (1 Viewer)

Sasquatch Fingers

International Man of Leisure
This set includes eight images.

L, K, and J, I think are one species, though all these LBBs make my eyes cross after a while.

M, I think, are some sort of swallow/swift/martin. I have better pictures elsewhere, but not readily available. I reckon this image might be too bad to make much from anyway.

B appears to be kind of sparrow-like, but doesn't seem a good fit for any I'm looking at.

D is, I think, a Black Redstart.

E is just a terrible picture.

F and I look like maybe the same species as well.

Rule of thumb with European birds that closely resemble New World sparrows - they're usually buntings (they're closely related anyway). Some finches, such as Chaffinch, might look similar as well. Old World sparrows have shorter tails and sometimes heavier bills than buntings.
 
Found the other two. Guessing this confirms Crag Martin ID. Looks right to me.
