Thats a very successful trip CAU
. Well done on 31 Black-Shouldered Kites !!I and a couple of friends visited Andalucia in November 2008. I have attached an Excel-file showing the route and the number of each species encountered each day (so it isn't a proper trip report, but perhaps it can still be useful to someone). Note that there's a map on the second sheet!

The winter of 2008 was exceptional for Black-shouldered Kites in the southern parts of Spain. Unusually cold inclement conditions in central Spain resulted in a mini migration of many of these birds to warmer climes in the southern parts. Extremadura was also inundated with them, and it was the norm for a day out to produce many sightings. Its not usually that easy !!!!
