The Iberian green woodpecker (Picus sharpei) is a medium-sized woodpecker endemic to the Iberian peninsula. It was formerly considered as a subspecies of the European green woodpecker but differs in having little black on the head and a dusky rather than a black ring around each eye.

Dunlin - Calidris alpina
The dunlin (Calidris alpina) is a small wader, sometimes separated with the other "stints" in Erolia. The English name is a dialect form of "dunling", first recorded in 1531–2. It derives from dun, "dull brown", with the suffix -ling, meaning a person or thing with the given quality. The genus name is from Ancient Greek kalidris or skalidris, a term used by Aristotle for some grey-coloured waterside birds. The specific alpina is from Latin and means "of high mountains", in this case referring to the Alps.
It is a circumpolar breeder in Arctic or subarctic regions. Birds that breed in northern Europe and Asia are long-distance migrants, wintering south to Africa, southeast Asia and the Middle East. Birds that breed in Alaska and the Canadian Arctic migrate short distances to the Pacific and Atlantic coasts of North America, although those nesting in northern Alaska overwinter in Asia. Many dunlins winter along the Iberian south coast.
An adult dunlin in breeding plumage shows the distinctive black belly which no other similar-sized wader possesses. The winter dunlin is basically grey above and white below. Juveniles are brown above with two whitish "V" shapes on the back. They usually have black marks on the flanks or belly and show a strong white wingbar in flight.
The legs and slightly decurved bill are black. There are a number of subspecies differing mainly in the extent of rufous colouration in the breeding plumage and the bill length. Bill length varies between sexes, the females having longer bills than the males.

The Iberian lynx was the world's most endangered cat. In 2002, there were fewer than 100 left in the wild. Now there are over 1000 but their future is far from secure.
In 2002 there were less than 100 Iberian Lynx individuals left in the wild and was declared as endangered and placed on the IUCN Red List. Through an extensive conservation program carried out between The European Union and the relevant Spanish Authorities their numbers have steadily increased to 1.111.

Considered a separate species of the Scarce Swallowtail with a white/grey ground colour and darker banding. It is found across the Iberian Peninsula and Southern France and can be seen from early February in the Sierra de Tejeda y Almijara on the Costa del Sol in Andalusia (6554). This one was seen 'hill topping' with its cousin Papilio machaon and a handful of Painted Ladies and Red Admirals.
