, Aragon, Spain . The next day we had good views a pair of bearded vultures further up the valley. They eventually settled on a ledge and proceeded to preen each other.It was stll snowing slightly at the top of the valley and very cold. A few passerines were feeding on any exposed grass and on the road itself. they included northern wheatear, whinchat,water pipit,black redstart, thekla lark and two superbly plumaged rock thrush. Griffon vulture were everywhere of course and up to three egyptian vultures were visible at a time including one sat close to the road in a meadow. Both kites were plentiful and there were several booted eagle an honey buzzard. Flocks of yellow billed choughs numbered hundreds and they seetled in the fields to feed and then wheeled around like a crowd of mosquitos. Red billed choughs occurred in much smaller groups. We saw only one citril finch and no alpine accentors.
