1 Target, 2 Days, 3 Lynx, 4 Sightings - High 5's....

An incredible couple of weeks in the Sierra de Andujar with multiple sightings of this gorgeous mammal along with lots of Mouflon, Wild Boar, Spanish Ibex, Greater Mouse-eared & Daubenton's Bats, Iberian Hare and of course Rabbit.
Added to this there's Spanish Imperial, Golden and Booted Eagles, displaying Goshawk, Black and Red Kites, Marsh and Hen Harriers, White-headed Duck, Night Heron, Common Crane, 30+ Little Bustards, Azure-winged Magpie, Hawfinch and Rock Bunting, plus a superb Horseshoe Whip Snake!!!ings
The bird list is now slowing up considerably although now at 161 and with the back end of February and most of March in India and Morocco things won't progress for a wee while now - looking forward to Castilla La Mancha & Extremadura, at the end of March. 
 
However bring on India - Tigers and Taj Mahal at the end of this month.

I wish that I had been with you. You obviously had some wonderful sightings of the four legged kind as well as the flying kind. Was it that warm for the whip snake or did you have to poke around for it. (nicely of course). Anyway, well done and keep that bird list going-
