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

The Wallcreeper is still playing hard to get.

Ebird List.

The largest Crags at La Yecla.

Again I went up to the gorge hoping for the wintering Wallcreeper (Treparriscos / Tichodroma muraria) but as with all my other visits it did not show for me, however I still had a good hour or so watching the masses of Griffon Vulture (Bultre Leonado / Gyps fulvus) going about their daily tasks including some nest rebuilding, Mating and just general flying around incircles just for the hell of it, anyway it kept me entertained.

Griffon's along the Crags.

I also had Red Kite (Milano Real / Milvus milvus), Sparrowhawk (Gavilán Común / Accipiter nisus), Common Buzzard (Busardo Ratonero / Buteo buteo) and Raven (Cuervo / Corvus corax) in the sky above the site.
