    Hi a belated post from our mid October visit to the Island. Fantastic endless sunshine for the whole stay was not expected so late into the year and the island still very busy tourist wise was also a surprise. Not a full on birding holiday and more of a laid back poolside job with all my birding...

    Martin Yes I have also seen Weasel before in this area of S’Albufera on at least two occasions. This was the first time I have managed to catch one on camera here as they usually disappear into the undergrowth giving you only a split second to respond. There were about eight people on...

    Mike thanks for update on girl hope she pulls through,very surprised to hear that she was British though. As planned we spent most of day at S,Albufera but due to strong winds most of the birds were literally lying Low. First Little Stint of the trip was to the far right of the Sa Roca hide but...

    Mike Yes the reception at the hotel told us about that area being a bad spot for jumpers , it's so sad to think some people decide to end it that way. I do take my hat off to the Guardia policeman who climbed down to comfort the woman,I could not watch as the cliff was crumbling around...

    Very strange morning today,as planned we headed up to the Formentor Mirador viewpoint before breakfast to look for the Alpine Accentors. Bird on view as we parked up and managed a few shots before it launched itself back over the cliff. Then we heard a noise which sounded like a goat calling but...

    Mike We can't really complain about the weather as we did have two lovely spells in March 17 & 18 so it was just a matter of time before we hit a bad patch. Today is nice and warm with clear sky's so back to normal. Just in from an early morning mooch around The Dog House and Son Bosc...

    Back in Majorca for our annual spring visit,weather has been total pants since arriving Monday pm but bird wise excellent as per the norm. Visits to Albufera Albufereta and Boquer Finca so far between very heavy rain and hail showers plus gale force winds. Plenty of waders at the former site...

    A few more photos from early March. Happy that the Hawfinch hung around this year at Son Real giving me the best views ever of this secretive bird. Also two Alpine Swift from the Albufureta Tower were a life bird for me. Bob

    Clive we also had a Stint right outside Sa Roca hide one morning. We thought Little Stint but looking at my shots the body looks a bit long for Little so maybe Temmincks,i am sure someone will confirm. Pity we did not bump into each other this time round Clive but maybe next year. Also posted...

    Mike how close in do the Shearwaters come and what is the area called where you go to do your seawatching,is it the Southerly point were the lighthouse is called Cap Salines ? I only ever visited the area where you get the Flamingo and wader which if I remember rightly was was Salobrar de...

    Lovely shots you got there Clive, just to show that anything can turn up and if your luck is in then its fantastic. I liken the opening of a shutter in the hides around S Albufera to opening up a Xmas Present, you never know what you are going to see, sometimes you are disappointed and other...
