Today I went for a mid-afternoon check of the west slope of El Hacho, hoping that the cold snap may have driven down some Ring Ouzel as it did a couple of years ago. Alas, all I saw was a 'possible' as a dark, thrush-sized bird with light upper wings (could have been the sun shining on it!) dashed between two large shrubs; you can usually hear them if they're around but it was all quiet. I did, however, see 2 Dunnock which is quite a scarce winter visitor to these parts.
Other species seen were Griffon Vulture, Common Kestrel, Southern Grey Shrike, Blue Rock Thrush, 10+ Song Thrush, Black Redstart, Stonechat, Blackcap, Sardinian Warbler, Cirl Bunting and Corn Bunting.
Just the one male Spanish Ibex hanging around today.
