Bad weather, good Birds

This time the weather and especially the forecasts, not accompanied us. The forecasts of the  Meteorology Agency, again not successful and the rain, wind and cold made its appearance. This limited us birding. 29 species, some of them on their way to their wintering areas in Africa, Flycatchers, Martins... Spectacular birds like Bullfinch male, Winchats, Short-toed Eagle...
