Don't get too excited, this isn't going to be great.
Our first visit to Tarragona (for Santa Tecla) since 2019. Mostly casual/incidental birding because we're busy with other things. Might be of limited value for anyone visiting Tarragona soon. No time this trip for an excursion to the Ebro Delta.
Thursday 21st September, Barcelona airport - one, probably 2 Stone Curlers seen whilst taxiing after landing.
Alpine Swift - several over the nature reserve adjacent to the airport.
Swallow - a couple, ditto.
Black Kite - a large raptor in the same place was probably this.
Friday 22nd, Tarragona, Part Alta - Short -Toed Eagle - one over whilst we were having lunch. Honey
Honey Buzzard - probable from same location.
Saturday 23rd - Tarragona, Plaça Corsini - several Alpine Swifts were probably local birds lingering.
Parc de Ciutat - Collared Flycatcher - one seen quite well and photographed badly. If correct, this will be a lifer. More to follow.
