    Bird watching dalyan Turkey

    It looks like the very pale tail may have looked like a white rump at distance. I've turned Marsh Harriers into all sorts of things in the past!

    Agree, these photos and time suggest Marsh. Any more pics?

    Very much so, its protecting the small beach by the stone jetty, very aggressive towards the Yellow-legged Gulls. No surprises on my list yet!

    Great effort. I'm on 42, with 2 of those car assisted with a day to go but won't be doing that much birding so expect little change. Your local knowledge of Corralejo has been a great help, so thanks!

    Fuerteventura & Lanzarote Pelagics, Red-billed Tropicbird, etc.

    Does anyone know if the Tropicbirds are still present, and if so, are the resident or just come in to breed?

    Coming out Feb 7th, staying on the headland. Might bump in to you as I plan a few forays into the NP. It's been 30 years since I was last in Corralejo!

    Mallorca 2016

    Boat trip to Cabrera yesterday, sadly very little Warbler activity, heard but didn't see Balearic and had tantalising glimpses of what was probably a Moltoni's. On the plus side Osprey and Eleanora's showed well, good views of Cory's on the way over - but no Balearic- and an unexpected Storm...

    I was at the Cap from about noon to 14.30. Peregrine, Eleanora's, Marsh Harrier, Booted Eagle and Red Kite plus small parties of Bee-eater and a single Alpine Swift. Nearby Thekla Lark and Redstart. Stint sp at Salinas de Colonia Sant Jordi - looks like a Temmink's with dark legs!

    Temmink's Stint still on salt pans at Colonia Sant Jordi today. This afternoon passage of raptors south included at least 6 Booted Eagle, 4 Red Kite, 1 Marsh Harrier and one Montagu's Harrier. Also 2 Raven. There looked to be a build up of raptors late afternoon so maybe a good movement out to...
