Birds around Barcelona

Barcelona, Catalonia, Spain

Every measure here is worked out per 5 degree square, so this covers the wider area around Barcelona (40° to 45° latitude, 0° to 5° longitude, about 550 km across), not the city alone. Counts are shares of all birds records in the same weeks, so busier stations do not inflate them (methods).
