Black Wheatear
Bowed but not broken, yet!
A very good day for Swallows. Several small flocks headed north following the course of the Rio Guadiaro, also a few House Martin and Sand Martins. Headed above Montejaque for a peep at over 30 Alpine Accentors and registered my highest winter count of Crag Martins, well over 3000+ riding high over the cliff tops!! Ring Ouzel was also present in my highest number for the winter 42+, so could be some have returned already from Africa and are moving North. Sun and blue skies, plus some good numbers of birds made the day feel like spring, temperature of 21 added to the experience. Off to Morocco late tomorrow, so will let someone else carry-on till I get back on the 25th.
