I start my Year List every year but I always fail to finish it. I’ll see if posting it in a thread helps me to keep it updated!
I spent most of my Christmas holidays in Madrid, included New Year’s Eve. But due to familiar duties that had me “locked in”, I’ve not seen my first bird until today!!! :eek!: (How could I stand it??? o)
Today I travelled from Madrid to my town (Oviedo) by car and here it starts my Year List.
6 January 2008, motorway Madrid-Oviedo:
1 – House Sparrow (Passer domesticus)
2 – Magpie (Pica pica)
3 – Spotless Starling (Sturnus unicolor)
4 – Carrion Crow (Corvus corone)
5 – Great Cormorant (Phalacrocorax carbo)
6 – Common Buzzard (Buteo buteo)
7 – Red Kite (Milvus milvus)
8 – Common Kestrel (Falco tinnunculus)
9 – Wood Pigeon (Columba palumbus)
10 – Western Jackdaw (Corvus monedula)
11 – White Stork (Ciconia ciconia)
12 – Collared Dove (Streptopelia decaocto)
13 – Rook (Corvus frugilegus)
I saw several more (particularly small birds) but I didn’t added as I wasn’t 100% sure of the ID.
