An hour or so watching Vultures.

Peregrine Falcon (Halcón Peregrino / Falco peregrinus). |
I have always like visiting La Yecla as the views of the
Griffon Vultures (Bultre Leonado / Gyps fulvus) are very good but they were difficult today as the light was very bad and the drizzle didn't help.![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgXJJclwxxlzdDeyR6RQbVm7r0YkSyseKSFqb8djtSnOZVXrLputqhDO3D-1NBP2jCj_uKUHGmMDz2nf7wggI9BmM0FGg-5jkSfHDnsOB0wYC7WUw4h9DLXl1-kvrXfnnU50QASJ7iXh5lqhKfLi6fnxKK_W0d41HHes4ZrkiW-focryYjvwXzP9JBp=w640-h528) |

Griffon Vultures (Bultre Leonado / Gyps fulvus). |
Any way I stood at the top / upper end of the gorge scanning the cliffs for the Wallcreeper (Treparriscos / Tichodroma muraria) that had been seen a few days earlier but I didn't have any luck with that.

I did however see a
Peregrine Falcon (Halcón Peregrino / Falco peregrinus) perched high up on the crags, Red Kite (Milano Real / Milvus milvus) and
Common Kestrel (Cernicalo Vulgar / Falco tinnunculus).![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgqy0j9OBGRXBclJ5O0Ujguirb_DalD9bAfZsO6Izyd7W2nXIJ_9sAsqcM97fz62atI0otOFPPapJSjvlsNJiz2TGIniNuCKmLMhuAk3QEptBB1_ML16vAtWW2p8FZWfazzwGHlez0_8NPldpZQGWe3Ygf8U87c2BwwOLXqlBEd7WqyGE03H0HzxXu_=w640-h472) |

Great (Carbonera Común / Parus major) and Long-tailed Tits (Mito / Aegithalos caudatus),
