View Larger Map

Un águila moteada (Aquila clanga) procedente de Estonia y marcada con un emisor via satélite, y llamada Tõnn se hallaba el 28.11.2008 en Murcia!

El ave ha atravesado los Pirineos por Catalunya donde no ha seguido la costa sino que ha entrado entre el Ripollés y la Garrotxa, para seguir hacia Osona, hasta Montserrat, seguir por la llanura del Penedès y salir hacia la costa pasado el macizo del Garraf. Luego por la costa hasta el Delta de l'Ebre desde donde se ha ido a la Mancha húmeda, a Daimiel, Ciudad Real. Posteriormente ha reculado hacia la costa y saliendo a la costa en Cuevas de Almanzora, Almería, se encontraba el los alrededores del Mar Menor, Murcia el 28 .11.

Según el seguimiento que se le está haciendo, y a juicio de los estonios, el área donde está ahora no parece muy buena para la invernada del ejemplar, que seguirá rumbo sur.

Estonian Spotted Eagle (Aquila clanga) overwintering in Spain. A satellite radio-tracked Greater Spotted Eagle (named Tõnn) has entered Spain through Catalonia, then travelled South to the Mancha area and back to the coast at Murcia, where it remained by late November 2008. According to ringers, the area is not suitable for the overwintering of the bird so it may move further along the coast. There is more information in English in the original looduskalender.ee website post above. Thanks to Gunter de Smet for the information.

Ancient Murrelet (Synthliboramphus antiquus ), 1st for Spain, 3rd for the Western Palearctic

On 24 May 2023, Roland Bekkers, photographed an Ancient Murrelet ( Synthliboramphus antiquus) at the Odiel river mouth , an important wetland in the Huelva province, in the Atlantic coast of Andalucia, S Spain. At 20:22 the same day the news came out and were broadcasted within the Rarebirdspain group. Despite the rarity of the record, a number of local birders decided to give it a try on 25 May morning.  Local birders asked to respect local colonies of Little Terns Sternula albifrons and Collared Pratincoles Glareola pratincola remaining within marked paths in any attempt of twitching the murrelet.  On 25 May, at 10:37 AM the bird was relocated c.400m from the mouth of the Mazagón Marina (José Luís Anguita, Manuel Bárcenas, Juanjo Cirpriano, Alfonso Barragán), UTM 37.138718, -6.841995 . See photos below (José Luís Anguita) and videos (José Manuel Reyes). Some boats flushed the bird c. 2000 m from the initial place and a bit later it flew a further 3000 m to the W remaining near the pl

Grackles (Quiscalus) in the Iberian peninsula

Imagen
Quiscalus mexicanus , Mexico, 31.8.2007 © Ricard Gutiérrez Grackles (genus Quiscalus ) are birds from Icteridae family, typical of Neotropical region, but also present in the Holartic, including USA coast. Typical 'resort' birds known by many as those 'black' birds frequenting the tables of hotels in the Caribbean or Mexican coasts trying to steal food from customer's breakfast or lunch.  Not a typical long-distance migrant group, they are believed to be quite intelligent, in a rather Corvidae mood, so despite they cannot be considered as true vagrants to the Palearctic according to the uncapability of crossing by themselves the Atlantic, it is true that they (presumably) board on ships to do the crossing. And not only one species but, at least, two having been recorded in Gibraltar and mainland Spain.  E-listed in Europe due to the 'current rules', a review of the treatment of what A listing means regarding 'clever' birds such as Corvidae
