A couple more addition from the Spain! I've seen the butterflies, the boar and the first four birds during fieldwork. Thekla's lark is surprisingly common, and identification was very easy when a couple of them flew into our mist nets. I managed to get confirmation on my small orange tip ID so I can now officially count them.
The rest of the list is from a day excursion to the famous Cabo de Gata near Almerìa. The day was not a full birding day but we managed to squeeze in visits to some of the most well known locations, which yielded several lifers including what was probably my most wanted species in Europe, if not globally: White-headed Duck. They're absolutely gorgeous! We saw seven individuals in total, in a landscape of coastal dunes, thick reed beds and narrow ramblas. Of course, the main attraction for many birders at Cabo the Gata is a tiny finch which sole European stronghold comprises roughly the Cabo de Gata and the Desierto de Tabernas. We spotted a few very interesting finches from the car but a pedestrian flushed them before we could have a good look. We got out and walked up to the spot where we last saw them, but they were gone. Upon returning to the car, we were surprised to find three Trumpeter Finches foraging right next to it! A fantastic sighting of a really great little bird.

135. Red-crowned Amazon (Amazona viridigenalis)
Since I last updated my list back in X, I had fallen into a sort of ‘slump’ with high Covid-19 rates and exams preventing me from birding. However, since then I have managed to tick off many more ‘regular’ species that this year’s unusual circumstances had prevented me from doing, while seeing a few nice surprises as well. I have also been trying to improve my ID skills, and I realised that a few of the birds I had listed were less distinctive than I believed, so I will remove them from the list.

No, he/she is at 281.
@Kazaa67 - number 240 was used twice so you are one out in your total:
240) Eurasian turtle dove, Streptopelia turtur
240) Woodchat shrike, Lanius senator
A rare relict species in Morocco that I haven't seen since 2019:
07/11/2021 (Issen, Morocco)
MAMMALS:
8 - Striped ground squirrel, Xerus erythropus
Why? The above was their last post before the two recent ones, so they underestimated their total by 26 unless I am missing something?
@Kazaa67 's latest post includes some of those leading up to 174 again, that's all. Compare the species and numbers in the post you quote to the latest list.
25. Coyote - Canis Latrans
Finally back at Slimbridge today after far too long (i.e. I'm still annoyed I couldn't go in Jan/Feb this year 
). Main order of business was to fill in four big gaps from my 2021 UK list (the three below plus Common Crane, which I saw in big numbers in Germany). Fortunately they are all extremely reliable at Slimbridge (and very big and visible birds that hang out in the open) - barely 40 minutes after arriving they were all safely sighted, which made the rest of the day much more relaxing.
An escaped Ross's Goose was the weirdest sighting of the day..!
Birds:
195. Bewick's Swan - Cygnus columbianus
196. Barnacle Goose - Branta leucopsis
197. Greater White-fronted Goose - Anser albifrons
(UK: 193 - my lowest for this point of the year since 2015 - but I've much more spare time in December than October/November so 200 still in my sights..!)
