TRANSFER - PICOS DE EUROPA TO MADRID AIRPORT
Our final day had arrived and all we had time for was an early breakfast, no birding just travelling. We took the scenic route which was a little longer time-wise but more enjoyable than spending a longer time on the autovia.
We saw a surprising number of birds along the way, some of the goodies included; Yellowhammer, Red-backed Shrike, lots of Common Buzzards, Jay, Raven, Red kite and Black Kite, Egyptian and Griffon Vultures.
A little nearer to Madrid we added two more species to the trip total: Green Woodpecker and Azure-winged Magpie, smashing!
Everyone got to the airport on time and I left Mervyn at the car rental centre before driving down to Malaga, another 5 hour drive. At Malaga I met Dawn and we transferred from a minibus to a small car which I drove back to Gaucin, another 1 1/2 hour drive. I got home at 10pm after setting off at 8am, a lot of driving and now I'm totally bushed! Good Night.
