Bird Census. SACRE VN 44

Again I have realised the census of the program SACRE in square VN44.
Unlike other years, the number of detected birds has been something greater, 62 species.
No new detected species.
Most remarkable:
Wryneck, the past year I did not detect any bird, and this year I have only heard two birds. Others years, with 10 – 15 birds.
Rock Sparrow, records similar to last years.
Two records of European Turtle Dove. This bird have a bad population with an annual evolution of -2,3% in Spain.


The trend in Europe:



Records of Common Quail (shortly time will be necessary to think about remove the “Common” in the name) like other farming birds the Common Quail have a very bad situation.

House Martin, a few birds. In this area is more common to find nest in the rock that in the houses, mainly so that people destroy the nests.
