    Hi All. Been on the Island for a short break. Mostly a relaxing break with the other half but have managed to see a few species. A walk along the Boquer on Sunday produced 2 Firecrest, Stonechat, Sardinian Warbler, 2 Yellow Wagtail, several Crag Martins and a flock of 13 Raven. Also of note, 1...

    Thank you very much for the recommendation. We had a pair of Stone Curlew in the field opposite the School. We tend to walk to the Boquer through the avenue of pines so have only ever looked at that end of the field but today we walked to the other end and saw them 😊. Many thanks, Rach

    Brilliant, thank you. We'll check those out. I always look from the Finca but have never managed to pick them out. Maybe I just need more patience! We go home on Friday morning unfortunately. Hopefully we'll get a few more species before we go home.

    A walk this morning along C'an Cuarassa gave us 2 Spotless Starlings on the roof of the "Pins 16" Villa which eventually flew out of sight behind the trees, next to the Villa on the opposite side of the road. Also along the track we had Kestrels, lots of Stonechats, a single Whinchat, 1 female...

    Yes, I've had some good fun birds seen. I was lucky enough to grow up in Norfolk during the 80s and 90s so didn't travel too far for a lot of them. I still get tempted by the nearer birds but my days of trekking across the country are over. Rach

    Been here since Friday afternoon and the weather hasn't been as we'd hoped for, especially today. We are here for birds and relaxation so we aren't venturing far from Puerto Pollensa. We had a couple of walks around La Gola which seems extremely quiet. One Nightingale singing at the back near...

    Very nice bird indeed. It's sad that the few spoil it for everyone. I certainly don't 'twitch' as much as I used to and if I do, I'll walk away if the bird is being put under pressure from people. Such a shame as it tars everyone with the same brush.

    Hi all. We are back again on the 14th for a week for our annual pilgrimage. Have been reading the forum with interest and it is definitely whetting my appetite. We are staying at the southern end of Puerto Pollensa this year for a change and have been looking at what is within walking...
