March 2017 North East Spain (Pyrenees and steppes) trip report

A trip report for my visit to North East Spain, which focused primarily on the Pyrenees and steppes of Aragon and Catalonia, is now up on Cloudbirders. The report can be found directly here, or via my Western Palearctic trip reports page on the blog here.

Short-toed Eagle, Hecho Valley, 26th March 2017
It was a trip of mixed fortunes, with several key targets not found, seemingly due to the inadvertent weather experienced. However, a good selection of birds were seen (including a few lifers), with species such as Dupont's Lark, Lammergeier, Alpine Accentor, Red-billed Leiothrix, Alpine Chough and Little Bustard among the highlights.
