Field Notes

Description:

Thought this was a seagull perching on a small tree until I looked at the photos at home, then my first thought was "but we don't have Black-shouldered Kites here!" Well, I've done some research and we do have them here and it definitely is one! Apparently they even breed in Spain, listed as "scarce and localised".

Habitat:

Coastal marshes
