A return to the crags looking for but not seeing the Wallcreeper again.

Western Spanish Ibex (Capra pyrenaica victoriae) ???????

I drove just up the road to La Yecla Gorge to look for the
Wallcreeper (Treparriscos / Tichodroma muraria) again but with the same results as last but I was pleased to see 4 male
Spanish Ibex (Cabra montés / Capra pyrenaica hispanica) which I am told are not all that common locally.

They look a little different to the Hispanica subspecies we get down our way so I wonder if it could be the

Birds were as expected, lots of
Griffon Vultures (Bultre Leonado / Gyps fulvus), Common Buzzard (Busardo Ratonero / Buteo buteo), Raven (Cuervo / Corvus corax),
Red-billed Chough (Chova Piquirroja / Pyrrhocorax pyrrhocorax),
Wren (Chochin / Troglodytes troglodytes),
Blackbird (Mirlo Común / Turdus merula),
Robin (Petirrojo Europeo / Erithacus rubecula),
Woodpigeon (Paloma Torcaz / Columba palumbus) and
Black Redstart (Colirrojo Tizón / Phoenicurus ochruros). |

The only unexpected species was a Eurasian Black / Cinereous Vulture (Aegypius monachus) which drifted across, heading North East.  |
