THE COMMONEST BIRDS IN EXTREMADURA

The Spanish Bird Common Survey scheme called Common Breeding Bird Monitoring Programme (seguimiento de aves communes reproducturas en España: SACRE) has thrown up figures on the commonest birds in Extremadura and we show below the ranking with the 20 commonest (individuals).

By way of comparison we also show the ranking of the 20 commonest breeding species in the whole of Spain, with many similarities (House Sparrow and Starling topping both lists) and some high-ranking idiosyncrasies of Extremadura (for example Azure Winged Magpie and Spanish Sparrow).
