Hi Tim
The Black-winged Kite Elanus caeruleus is
very like our Black-shouldered Kite and is found in Spain. However its
distribution is not shown anywhere close to Barcelona in several European Field
Guides which I have looked at including the latest Collins tome. Are you
sure it was an Elanus spp. ? The Hen Harrier and Montagu's Harrier are
both found in that area and have similar colouring but without the black
shoulder. However these are typical Circus spp. and are noticeably bigger
than a Black-winged Kite.
Cheers
Roy
