A splendid day at the Cap together with my wife, my daughter and the very nice locals produced a good amount of Honeybuzzards, some Hobbies, many Red Kites and Booted Eagles and a group of around 40 Ravens. No luck with the Rock Sparrows, but I’ve been told by a local friend that even he has never seen them. I’m certainly not giving up yet!

Hi Craig, sadly not, I would think they are of captive origin. Mike

A female type Pallid Harrier has been seen this morning by Adolfo at Cap Blanc.
Pallid harriers have become more frequent in recent years. I believe there are quite a few around Barcelona at the moment so let's hope a few come through Mallorca. Mike

Hiya everyone, Im looking to do an observational study on cinereous/black/monk vultures and am wondering if it's actually possible! If I came out to mallorca for a few days am I likely to get some good sightings or is it a case of seeing them flying overhead more than on the ground ?
I'd be coming oct-dec so not breeding time, obviously every day is different but if it's not worth it I'll change my research focus, TIA!

A couple shots of a Juvenile Bonelli's Eagle harassed by two Ravens, yesterday at the Cap. It was carrying a transmitter and a red and white ring to its right leg. It would be interesting if someone knows more about that.
No other birds of note there.
Then the Hybrid Egret at Salobrar, also yesterday. I added a shot of another (?) hybrid I took at Maristany in mid-July this year. The lighting is very different (midday vs early morning) but they may be two different birds.?
