Hi Essexbird,
You should get them from within your hotel complex sitting on the roof - that's the birds sitting on the roof, not you!
I got them from the dirt track that runs past the Can Calluruso restaurant that is situated to the south of your hotel. From that track you can see the spotless...
Hi Liz & Mike,
Strange that we never bumped into each other once when our group (RSPB Edinburgh Local Group) bumped into some birders several times! Back home now as well but a great time had by all -Mallorca still producing the goods.
Best bird of the day for us was a carrion crow near...
Final day on Mallorca apart from heading for airport at stupid o'clock to avoid bike race tomorrow. Another great day booted eagles, loads of pied flys and tawny pipits (Son Real), spotless starlings at Back of Club del Sol. Bee-eaters at Son Bosc with turtle dove.

Great day up at Cuber reservoir with both vultures, red kites & booted eagles. Loads of spotted flycatchers and two obliging tawny pipits.
Quick trip on back roads around Albufereta tonight got Scops owl by call and barn owl by sight.
Had fabulous day at Albufera yesterday with collared pratincole, night heron, spotted redshank, little stint, marbled duck. All photos are just back of camera shots. Moustached warbler heard and nightingales all over the place with bee-eaters flying over and little bittern fishing as well.

I also heard bee-eaters at Albufera yesterday.

Hi Marina. You were correct; got 3 gargany at above location today with several other good birds such as 3 little stint and 5+ green sandpiper.
Last spring I photographed a strange 'little egret' that had some grey feathers in it but was mostly white. I'm sure that I've read...
Maristany. 1st light. Common scorer still there. Also barn swallow house and sand marten. No trace of gargany but then it was blowing a gale and I could have missed them. Brian
