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

Back out looking for the Wallcreeper.

Ebird List.

The Gorge at La Yecla.

After breakfast I went for a walk down the village and got the beard and then went for a couple of hours birding at La Yecla hoping to see the Wallcreeper (Treparriscos / Tichodroma muraria), when I arrived there was little activity but within a few minutes the air was full of the local Griffon Vultures (Bultre Leonado / Gyps fulvus) with around a 100 birds circling above the cliffs.

On of the 100 or so Griffon Vultures (Bultre Leonado / Gyps fulvus) sat on the cliffs around the gorge.

Passing Raven (Cuervo / Corvus corax).

Red Kite (Milano Real / Milvus milvus).

As I stood there I also saw Raven (Cuervo / Corvus corax) x2, Red Kite (Milano Real / Milvus milvus) x2, Great Tit (Carbonera Común / Parus major), Wren (Chochin / Troglodytes troglodytes), Grey Wagtail (Lavandera Cascadena / Motacilla cinerea), Common Chaffinch (Pinzón Vulgar / Fringilla coelebs), Blackbird (Mirlo Común / Turdus merula) and then 5 minutes worth of the Wallcreeper but it was distant and right at the top of the crags for the whole time unfortunately but at least I got it for the year list (308).

I returned to Santi's where we had a very nice French Cassoulet for lunch and then slobbed out for the rest of the day.
