In April, 2020, I was scheduled to take a trip to Spain, where I would have spent quite a few days birding. Needless to say, that trip did not happen!
I decided to review some pictures from my previous trip to Spain in September, 2016, and found a number of interesting ones.
In the parts of Spain I visited the birds were incredibly skittish, rarely allowing an approach close enough for a decent photo.
For that reason, many bird photographers visit blinds (or hides, in the British terminology), to photograph birds in Spain. In fact, it's quite a business, the fee for visiting these blinds is usually quite steep!
All of the following shots were taken from blinds on a property near Ronda, in southern Spain.

European Pied Flycatcher. I think this is a juvenile:
