La Yecla PNat, Santo Domingo de Silos, Burgos Province, Spain.

An hour or so watching Vultures.

Ebird List.

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.

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).
