Birds spotted recently in Hoyo de Manzanares in Madrid with their spanish names :-)
98. Iberian (Azure-winged) Magpie (or Rabilargo)
The Azure-winged Magpie is a very interesting bird type that can be found in the Iberian Peninsula (Portugal and Spain) and on the East Asian seaboard with no occurrences in the rest of the world. Recent studies have shown that the Iberian Azure-winged Magpie is not related to the Azure-winged Magpie!
97. European Robin (Pettirojo Europeo)
First time spotted! Compare here to the American Robin.
96. White Stork (Cigueña Blanca)
Fun fact about storks is that although they do not necessarily pair for life they are monogamous and loyal and tend to return to the same nests and partners.
94. Thekla's Lark (Conjugada Montesina)
Famous zoologist Alfred Brehm gave this bird the name of his deceased sister Thekla. The greek name Thekla comes from the ancient greek name Theokleia which means God's honor.
This beautiful bird breeds in all sub-Sahara across north Africa from Senegal to Somalia and in the Iberian Peninsula. It is a sedentary species.

95. Eurasian Blue Tit (Herrerillo Común)
Non-migratory, easily recognisable, peculiar tit that is famous for clinging to the outer branches of trees and hanging upside down in search for food! Great rival of the Common Tit and very adaptable when it comes to accommodation!
