Wilson's Storm Petrel* Oceanites oceanicus Two records. (1 through snail mail to CR/SEO).On 25.7, a bird was seen in the Mediterranean: c. 16 millas S-SE of Cabo Palos, Murcia at 37º 21' 760N, 00º 36' 185W (WGS 84 datum)(Salvador García) As far as we know, the first known Spanish Mediterranean record. (2) On 26.7 there were 2-3 off Estaca de Bares, A Coruña, Galicia (SGO)

Presumed hybrid Western Reef x Little Egret* Egretta gularis x garzetta (4 records: 1, 2 & 3 & 4 not submitted yet). (1) There was a presumed hybrid at Rio Grande river mouth, Málaga, on 16.7 (Todor Todorov). See photo below and thumbnail here (© Todor Todorov).  (2 & 3) On 25.7, two presumably juveniles were reported at Los Olivillos, La Puebla del Río, Sevilla. One of the birds show the same pattern as the above Málaga bird and the other is almost blue but with white spots in wings and undertail coverts (John R. Butler).(4)News from Guadalhorce river mouth. A chick showing mantle and crown mid grey coloured was brought to be realesed as taken from a nest in Málaga. Perhaps a 2nd generation hibrid? (Antonio Tamayo, communicated by Andy Paterson)  Text in Spanish: Esta mañana estuve en el Guadalhorce y Antonio Tamayo llegó con una caja con dos pollos todavía prepardas a volar ... Lo interesante es que uno tenia la esplada y corona gris medio, y marcas un una de las alas, siendo la otra más o menos normal.  He pedido a Antonio y a Juan Ramirez quien ha tomado algunas fotos que se ponen en contacto con las fotos. No hay garantias que son del mismo nido, porque uno (el completamente blanco) todavía tenia algo de plumon en la cabeza, mientras la hibrida tenia nada más de 2 o 3 filamentos. En mi humilde opinion, la cría hibrida bien podría ser el resultado de uno de los hibridos (primera cruce) de aqui con una garzetta normal, siendo el pollo una segunda cruce con sólo 25% de dimorfa

Rüppell's Vulture* Gyps rueppellii (1)  The bird seen in May around the Straits of Gibraltar and brought to the Jerez Zoo on 3.6 was finally recovered and released into the wild on 10.7 (COCN). Although search for funds to put a satellite radio-transmiter to the bird was carried out, no possitive results were obtained although thanks to the persistence of COCN with the collaboration of the Zoo staff, many NGOs, Doñana Biologial Station and Andalusia environmental authorities, the bird is now PVC marked (coded 35F in black letters on yellow PVC ring, plus official ring MINIST. AGRICULTURA ICONA MADRID 11-02989 ) and wears a low band radio transmiter. More information on this bird in the COCN website (in Spanish)The bird is moving to the N since its release. It has visited La Plata mountain, then Laja del Aciscar, Picacho, Alcalá de los Gazules and Arcos de la Frontera, all in Cádiz (Paco Montoya/COCN).By 30.7 it has been lost by radiotracking team, so presumably wandering by N of Cadiz province (Paco Montoya/COCN).
