Observation details

No specific field notes other than my daily checklist and post-trip summary by guides Tim Earl and John Muddeman. I uploaded photos of the relevant pages (below). This was originally imported into eBird as an African Stonechat, Saxicola torquata. A glance in Wikipedia (albeit not the authority) produced the following quote: "In the past S. torquatus usually referred to the entire "common stonechat" superspecies and some sources[3] still keep it that way, but all available evidence strongly supports full species status for the European (S. rubicola) and the Siberian stonechat (S. maurus) of temperate Eurasia, in addition to the island-endemics Fuerteventura chat (S. dacotiae) and Réunion stonechat (S. tectes) which were never unequivocally accepted into S. torquata." Therefore I have removed the African Stonechat from these particular eBird lists related to our 2004 western Spain trip, and replace it with the European Stonechat, S. rubicola.
