Wallcreeper

Tichodroma muraria

It lives in high-mountain areas, at above 1,800 metres, and only exceptionally breeds at lower altitudes, although in winter it moves down to gorges and rugged slopes.  It is present throughout the year in the Pyrenees, particularly where there are cliffs in the inland part of Western Catalonia. This is, however, a very rare species and one that is threatened by climate change.
