Hi Gordon
If you decide on Europe, come to Spain. Catalonia (the region around
Barcelona) has more breeding birds than anywhere else in the Iberian
peninsular. I'm aware you're talking about doing it on a budget and
going it alone so this isn't a plug for my guiding. I'd be happy, as
always, to help birders who come out here to get the best out of
their trip. To start with, take a look here -
www.catalanbirdtours.com (click the photo-link squares on home page)
- for an idea of possible species such as bustards, sandgrouse,
Lammergeier, etc. or I'll send you a list of possibles if you wish.
Feel free to throw a few questions in a personal email if you have
any queries.
All the best wherever you go - do let us know and may be even post a
trip report when you get back.
