Primary target: Greater spotted eagle
On the 14/12/24, I saw an adult nominate greater spotted eagle at the North Gate, in tree along path
On the 16/12/24, I saw an immature fulvescens greater spotted eagle distantly fly past the Anguilla hide, followed after by an adult spotted eagle which perched in the eucalyptus forest
On the 24/12/24, I found an adult greater spotted eagle perched in a eucalyptus tree by the South Gate entrance. Extremely well hidden despite size

On the 02/01/25, I saw an immature fulvescens greater spotted eagle at low altitude and close range over Vistabella road, followed soon after by two spotted eagles in distant flight


I tried to acquire the long-staying male pallid harrier on 3 separate occassions, but it ultimately turned out that the bird was covering a very wide area, and I was unable to find it
Secondary target: Crane
On the 16/12/24, I saw a group of 5 cranes in flight over the Anguilla hide
On the 19/12/24, I saw a group of 7 cranes in flight over the farmland to the south of El Hondo at close range


On the 24/12/24, I saw a group of 2 cranes in a field near El Hondo, followed by 8 other cranes in the afternoon

On the 02/01/25, I saw 2 cranes in flight over El Hondo South Gate

Secondary target: Osprey
Seen only once, in very low level flight at El Hondo South Gate on 02/01/25

Other birds I have seen:
White-headed ducks at Clot de Galvany


Kingfisher at Clot de Galvany

Pochards at Clot de Galvany

Bar-tailed godwit at Salinas

Audouin's gull at Salinas

Slender-billed gull at Salinas
