Only the 12th record of this Mega Wader since 1974.

PICOS DE EUROPA, May 2015

The following images are a photographic record in chronological order of a trip to the Picos de Europa Mountains in NW Spain in late May and early June 2015.

Just under a hundred Bird Species were recorded including on a personal note three target Birds----Wallcreeper, White-winged Snowfinch and Alpine Accentor.

We were based in the village of Espinama close to the Cable Car access to the high Mountains at Fuente De. Tours, both North and South, of the High peaks were made once the Target Birds had been seen.
