Hi everybody,
I just uploaded to my website a brief account with photos of a birding visit to La Serena, probably the best remaining steppe habitat in Western Europe.
The visit was timed to see the recently arrived Lesser Kestrel just before nesting, plus Great Bustard's courtship displays. The previous week there had been unusually heavy rains, and the landscape was beautiful. Although far less birdede than Monfragüe or the Trujillo plains, this area is probably better for steppe species, although its very large extension requires some knowledge of the place to find them.
You can see it at www.iyufera.com, under "last update".
Best regards,
