Unseasonal heat (what happened to spring? We've jumped straight to summer!) has been deterring me from venturing out as much as I might otherwise, but two new species this week.

214. Whiskered Tern
215. European Roller

 

[Nightjar61]

A nice selection of spring migrants today, including a mega rarity for this area (the ibis), which was a state and county lifer.

145. Red-eyed Vireo
146. Indigo Bunting
147. Cerulean Warbler
148. Worm-eating Warbler
149. Glossy Ibis

The ibis overshadowed the two warblers, which I was excited about, because I didn't see either one last year at all.

Just three last week. The weather has improved (and the migrants with it), but sickness is keeping me indoors now - sod's law.

218. Common Tern

 

[Jacana]

198. Garganey

Again on Öland while trying to track down a Spotted Crake (which was heard only and so doesn't count for me).

 

[martinboer]

After almost a week of rain and unseasonably cold weather, I was able to sit on my deck this evening, where I saw a new bird for the year.

Dave

Took the train down to Alcázar de San Juan today down in La Mancha to visit the lagunas there. Parts of it have clearly been hit hard by the drought, including the tern colony which is abandoned. Such a contrast from when I was last there a year ago and not nice to see, but still managed seven year ticks so a good day overall. Bearded Tit is new for my Spain list.

219. White-headed Duck
220. Greater Flamingo
221. Marbled Duck
222. Greylag Goose
223. Bearded Tit
224. Little Stint
225. Grey Plover
