    Birdwatching in a big city, Barcelona

    Leoithrix Barcelona Unfortunately, the only reliable spot I know is not accessible by public transport. It's worth trying Aleix's suggestion on the thread posted by Allen above but I personally haven't had a great deal of luck there with sightings being so irregular that I gave up on it some...

    Harriers Hen Harrier if it had a white rump, Marsh Harrier if not. Montagu's usually arrive from March. Good luck tomorrow.

    May in Lleida I've penciled in a note to keep you informed so, assuming your email address is the same, I'll check in with you nearer the time if I haven't already heard from you by then. All the best

    sparrows and starlings Hi Chris Lots of tree sparrows about, should have been a few spotless starlings too but they do sometimes go AWOL in the fields. Was in the Pyrenees today where we had two adult Lammergeier, lots of Citril Finches and got great photos of a Marsh Tit feeding on sunflower...

    Spanish Sparrow Hi all How very nice to hear about everyone enjoying Barcelona so much. Just got back from yet another trip to the Steppes where we photographed an adult Red-necked Nightjar with a juvenile. I've still to be given the file but will post it, along with many more amazing...

    Tours Hi guys You're certainly a glutton for punishment aren't you? If you're interested in a tour share, perhaps meeting you somewhere en route if you're going to be 'about the place', I can let you know dates for Pyrenees, Steppes, etc. You have my email address, I believe, but you can...

    Short-toed Treecreeper Actually Allen Short-toed Treecreeper is quite common in Barcelona's parks and, because of their relatively more open nature over the treescapes out 'in the wild' as it were, are often easier to get good views. I think people miss them because we don't know them well...

    Birdwatching in a big city, Barcelona

    Pedraforca You finally got to Nuria then! Rather more incredibly, we were also at Pedraforca on the 19th so we were probably looking at the very same Lammergeier! After we banged into each other at Collserola a couple of seasons ago I'm rather (retrospectively) surprised that we didn't see...

    Collserola Raptor Sightings Direct Link Here's the (almost) direct link I spoke of earlier: http://www.parccollserola.net/catalan/home/marcos_rapis.htm just click on "Seguiment de les observacions (dades actualizades)" on the right. After a total absence last year, I believe...

    Birdwatching in a big city, Barcelona

    Collserolla Raptors Hi guys You'll find a link on my Llobregat Page, in the spring/autumn section I think. Once there, click on "Dades actualizades" or something like that and, even if there's nothing for this year yet, you'll be able to get an idea of likely species and flow from last year's...

    Birdwatching in a big city, Barcelona

    alpine swifts Hi Allen Alpine Swifts are actually usual through most of October, although scarce by the end, with many flocks taking to the skies above Barcelona's high-rise buildings of an evening. A great place to see them is the Camp Nou football stadium, where they roost - and even on...
