Bird identification on the Francés?

Hi everyone;
When I did the CF in the fall of 2014, I was amazed by the song-birds I would hear and see. I'm quite fond of birds, and have been a casual birder for over 40 years in central Canada. I knew few of the birds in Spain (except for sparrow, magpies and the storks). I've been looking for an ebook with bird of the Northern Region of Spain because I'm going back for the last 300K this year in late summer and I'm anxious to know what I'm seeing/hearing out there.
PS -- did anyone else see the little gerbil-type rodents on the way between León and Villadonga? I've tried to identify them, and I'm not sure what they were.

Could be your Gerbil rodents...
