This being one of a number of subtle differences we thought between the Spanish and English versions of various species - Black-billed Magpies seemed to have rather longer tails and Stonechats seems to have far more white in their wing-bars and collars to name a couple that spring to mind.We also noted that some bird's songs were different too - a particular example was Great Tit, not so much because of any particular song (they have just as many varieties as in the UK!) but more because of the tone of voice, which seemed to us to be far more scratchy and thin that we were used to hearing.Looking forward to the next episode....All the best.....  Ruby</blockquote>
