Saturday 30 June: final photos from Extremadura last month....all from the Gredos mountains area apart from the Great Reed Warbler which was seen at several other sites. First up a rather distant but superb male Rock Thrush...

An impressive Ocellated Lizard. This one was about 30cm long but they can grow to 90cm...

Great Reed Warbler in full song...

The iconic Spanish Ibex...

Black Redstart...

Not a great photo, but my first sighting of Red-backed Shrike...

Again, poor photo but clearly an Ortolan Bunting! Orange bill just visible...
