Malaga Birding Tour to Montes de Malaga and the mouth of the Guadalhorce (2015.12.17)

After that, Blackbird, Robin, Great Tit, Wood Pigeon, Blue Tit, Common Crossbill, Sisking, Sardinian Warbler, Chaffinch, Nuthatch, Great Spotted Woodpecker, Sparrowhawk, Chiffchaff, Serin, Coal Tit, Spotless Starling, Blackcap, Jay, Hawfinch, Common Buzzard, Long-tailed Tit, Crag Martin, Goldfinch, Black Redstart and Firecrest, with Cirl Bunting, Short-toed Treecreeper and Crested Tit heard.
The arrival to the Guadalhorce was wonderfully welcomed by a Booted Eagle by the river. Then, the list was completed with Greenfinch, Meadow Pipit, Cormorant, White Wagtail, Stonechat, Grey Heron, Crested Lark, White-headed Duck, Coot, Little Grebe, Pochard, Mallard, Shoveler, Collared Dove, Greenshank, Spanish and House Sparrows, Marsh Harrier, Black-headed, Lesser Black-backed and Mediterranean Gulls, Black-winged Stilt, Hoopoe, Gannet, Shelduck, Kingfisher, Moorhen, Common Sandpiper, Little Egret, Purple Swamphen, Yellow-legged Gull, Sanderling, Monk Parakeet, Zitting Cisticola, Black-necked Grebe and Cattle Egret, with Cetti’s Warbler heard.
