Hi Clive, yes, a probable Rock sparrow flying away from us and I am 75% sure it was one. The colouration was right and the bird had large white tail patches so it looked good. I am going back there soon and will post again. Unfortunately this bird flew strongly some distance and I could not re-locate it. I also saw one Dartford warbler. Fantastic news re the Eleonoras, a very early date indeed. There was a large influx of Common swift this evening over Porto Petro including one Alpine swift and a few Barn swallow. Also one Peregrine.
I have always felt guilty about the amount of human traffic through the finca at the Boquer so I am not surprised by the decision to close. The new entrance will be much better as Alf suggests. It is such a great location and often produces real surprises.
