Abstract
Summary: The results obtained from three spring expeditions in 1952, 1956 and 1957 to the Coto Doñana, at the mouth of the Guadalquivir River in Spain, are described. A total of 210 species of birds was identified in the study area, including one new to Spain, the Masked Shrike Lanius nubicus, and one new to Europe, the Sand Lark Calandrella raytal. The effect of the severe drought of 1957 on the breeding of water‐dependent species is described. A number of resident and migrant species is shown to have undergone considerable changes in status in the area since the reports of Chapman (1893) and Jourdain (1936‐37). The report is divided into two sections: species found breeding or observed to be feeding regularly in the study area and those considered to be passage migrants or vagrants.
