A few more from Spain. The Rollers were the main purpose of us going to Spain. I finally caught up with this pair just past a village named Torreorgaz where they have put nest boxes up for them on electricity poles. As the area is lacking in cover I finished up laying in some long grass for around 3 hours. Uncoftable but worth every mossy bite that I recieved.
The Sardinian Warbler and the Whitethroat were both easy to get as they are quite common.
The last one is a Woodlark. I have been to Cannock Chase a few times to try for this bird but never succeeded. We spotted a beautiful male Rock Thrush while driving so that called for an emergency stop only for the Thrush to fly off and the Woodlark to land right alongside the camper and pose for the camera. How lucky am I. Never did see the Thrush again. Never mind I'll get it next timeHappy birding.
