Seventh CREX rarities report 2023

This document is the seventh rare birds report of the Extremaduran Rarities Committee (CREX) in Extremadura, Spain. CREX was created in 2016 and is made up of six members. In this report, 71 records of rarities have been considered, of which 89% refer to 2023. 89% of records received were accepted by the committee. In 2023, we welcomed the first record of Spotted Eagle Clanga clanga in Extremadura, and four records of Lanner Falcon Falco biarmicus in one season was unprecedented. Other records of interest were a group of three Tundra Bean Goose Anser fabalis/ serrirostris, a new record of Sociable Lapwing Vanellus gregarius, four records of Grey Phalarope Phalaropus fulicarius, six records of Little Gull Hydrocoloeus minutus and two records of Slender-billed Gull Chroicocephalus genei (the first records of the latter species since 2018).
