Back in Mallorca now and I see I have missed some great birds. A big invasion of Glossy Ibis so hopefully some will stay to breed as they did last year.
Good luck to all visiting birders, I hope to meet up with some of you later in the week. Mike

Can Curassa yesterday gave us nightingale, cettis, yellow wagtail, common sand, raven & spotshank. Bocquer valley 1900-2000 had spotted & pied flycatcher, serin, kestrel, black redstart and wheatear. La Gola had greenshank but water levels seem low, has it been a dry winter? Haven't been to Can Curassa before, but a lot of it seems to have dried out already. Cala St Vincent today as, "This is not a birding holiday!!"

Day 3/4 We braved the cold up at Cuber Dam early this morning and were rewarded with a Spectacled and Moltoni's Warblers. There is a very vocal Moltoni's holding territory by the dam just at the back of the small concrete building with the electrical hazard signs. Yesterday we saw a similar range of migrants in the South part of s'Albefura and Bocquer valley to others and had a number of Balearic Warblers singing intermittently between 16.00-17.30 at the seaward end of Bocquer Valley - hard to see well in the stiff breeze. - Nick & Graham

Hi Craig
Yes, it's a real shame. More so because of the reason - all Parc Naturalists throughout the island(s) (who tended to compile the lists) were sacked/made redundant several years ago as a result of continued government cuts. The staff try to maintain the lists so all sightings reported to reception are valuable.
Weekends are always very busy as local families traditionally visit the reserve.

Hi Craig, I was at Vilafranca at about 3pm and saw the same as you, two female Red-footed Falcons and one male but distant. The Red-foots always like sitting on the straw bales but there are few this year. I see that many vines have been planted, shame. I got some photos but very poor. Mike
