Only one year tick in a disappointing trip to the estuary at Villaviciosa. Mist from the sea rolled in not long after we arrived which cut birding time.

Three new migrants from Velilla de San Antonio yesterday. Birdsong picking up, temperature in the low 20s, it's well and truly spring now!

162. Iberian Chiffchaff
163. Savi's Warbler
164. Sedge Warbler

 

[Jacana]

Back in the UK for a couple of weeks.

133. Eurasian Skylark

Somehow missed this until now...

Only one new bird this afternoon. At a time when early migrants should be arriving, it seems that migration has come to a screeching halt. I'm finding one or two new birds a weekend, and that's only after a lot of time and effort put in.

86. Eastern Phoebe
