@T/S: 4500' AMSL is nothing. There are reports of large birds nesting at 6000 m high; metres, not feet mind you. And even if there are no mountains so high, Spain has a bad reputation regarding large birds at high altitude. Just one example (though not stating any altitude) https://aviation-safety.net/wikibase/wiki.php?id=183669
