MY BLOG is now updated for May 2009, quite frankly the most exhilarating month's birding of my life. Details of discoveries and sightings of well over 200 species (with photos coming soon), including Dupont's Lark, Red-throated Pipit, Red-necked Nightjar, Red-footed Falcon, Lammergeier, Little Bustard, both sandgrouse, etc., are posted at:

TOURS - if you're thinking of making a trip to Spain this autumn or winter (or next spring for that matter), I'm currently offering a 10% Discount on all shared short-breaks and holidays booked before 31 July 2009 and I can help to find sharers for those travelling alone.
The appeal of AUTUMN raptor and passerine passage, together with the usual Spanish specialities, is obviously well documented but WINTER offers the fantastic chance of watching Wallcreeper, Great Bustard, Lammergeier, both sandgrouse species and may be even Dupont's Lark on a three-day break from just €335.
And even trips in SUMMER offer surprisingly good birding, especially if you have availability at short notice and can find a cheap late flight.

Either way, all the very best
