Hi Sprosser13. Turnstone are fairly common in winter along the coast of Mallorca. Still nice birds to see, Son Real is a reliable site. I usually see them along the coast east of Palma and at Colonia Sant Jordi.
Martin, thanks for the Ibis information, I have seen various records over the years but I believe they have always been treated as escapes.
Bluechaffinch. Thanks for the information, quite a few botanists come to the Island so many readers of this thread are interested in plants, moths and insects. We are all still learning about the wildlife of Mallorca so all contributions are very welcome.
Our trip in the USA is going well with lots of new and exciting birds but I am still missing Mallorca. Reading this thread has made me feel very lucky to live there.
Many thanks to all for your contributions, much appreciated. Mike
