If you want to find the special birds of Extremadura, this is the book you need

Dave Gosney writes:

“A couple of years ago, some friends visited Extremadura using my 2013 book and suggested that so much has changed that I should rewrite it. So I went back in 2025 and discovered that even ‘easy’ species such as bustards and Montagu’s Harriers have now become tricky. So this new edition gives details of where they can still be found, as well as exactly where to look for birds such as Rufous Bush-robin, Black Wheatear, White-rumped Swift, Citril Finch, Penduline Tit, Rock Thrush, Bluethroat and all the other species highlighted in the first book”
