My own favourites: difficult! I still love Pin-tailed Sandgrouse, they add so much life to the Spanish steppes. I suppose I would also have to choose Bonelli's Eagles too, as we have worked closely with them this year and they have rewarded us by rearing a chick for the first time in 6 years.
There's more on this story in our newsletter,, just out.

Great website :t:
Bonelli's Eagle are amazing birds. I love all eagles, but Bonelli's have a real character and jizz, and very smart birds as adults. Also sadly greatly declined despite a lot of suitable habitat. I think I read somewhere that development and the species being very prone to nest failure by disturbance are leading to this
