Madrid 12/3/15

A really good morning walking around an area of wasteland and small pine strips on the outskirts of Madrid. By far the highlight were male Serins displaying everywhere. A couple of new Butterflies for me as well. 

Short-toed Treecreeper - 3 showing really well

Crested Lark - 5

Zitting Cisticola - 3

'Continental' Coal Tit - 1

Sardinian Warbler - 2 males

Black Kite - 1 stunning individual

Serin - 30+ (mostly displaying males)

Black Redstart - 2 

Swallow - 3 heading north 

Firecrest - 1

New Butterflies were: 

Provençal Hairstreak - 10

Green Striped White - 4

Also a Hummingbird Hawkmoth. Not bad totals before an afternoon of work.
