A bit of birding in a special place.
Ebird List for Sad Hill.

Sad Hill in the Fog.

After breakfast I had a drive to the nearby Sad Hill Cemetery where the final gun fight in the movie the Good, the bad and the Ugly was shot, a place that I visited a few times with Jayne and several times on my own which has always felt special but more so these days.
I parked and did a loop around the site birding and checked in on Jayne's marker, as I walked I picked up
Great Spotted (Pico Picapinos / Dendrocopos major) and
Iberian Green Woodpecker (Pito ibérico / Picus sharpei),
Common Kestrel (Cernicalo Vulgar / Falco tinnunculus), Eurasian Jay (Arrendajo Euroasiático / Garrulus glandarius),
