Well things are starting to get hot and the birds are starting to show.
Bit of recce work today. Managed to score a WALLCREEPER - this isn't massively unusual but the thing is that there very little access to the higher mountain areas. I went in through the back door is how the story goes and was a little lower than I wanted to be but I might even have found this years little hidey hole!! Ok it might well have been 1,000 miles (ok not a 1000 but needed a scope) away but at least I could the bird and I didn't have to walk for the day.
There were the usal Vultures round and about and a family of Kestrels - it's always great to watch the 'training' - "what do you mean stay still - look how fast I can fly - whoosh".
I did some cross country and at 1455m found a Bonellis WArbler - I usually see them at lower altitudes so it was a suprise - particularly as, at this time of the year, it shouldn't be migrating.
Add to this the Lammergeier about to leave the nest brilliant!
