    Great day indeed, what a nice bird! And very tame too. I got the chance to meet with Kevin, Dave, Mike and Phil and enjoy the bird with them. I also managed to grab a bit of footage that you can see here:

    Sorry I don't post very often here but I got lucky this morning and found a Pectoral Sandpiper in Salobrar so I thought some of you may be interested. They are certainly not seen often in Mallorca and as this one just decided to land in front of me, I managed to snap a couple shots. It didn't...

    Mike mentioned a Little Crake being seen in Binissalem, here is a picture of it, and that of a Sedge Warbler which was also present there. Also today, Mike and I, at different times, saw a large group of Whimbrels at Salobrar, a total of 62 which we believe must a record for the island.

    Hi Mike, Sorry no pictures of the large groups. It was indeed very confusing as a lot of the Buzzards turned around as the southerly winds picked up a bit in the afternoon. I suspect a few of them could end up spending the night locally and depart tomorrow as the prediction is for northerlies...

    A few photos of the birds at the Cap, today and yesterday, to support Mike's latest post. The Montagu's was a nice addition to a great day Sorry Mike , I did not have good or recent pictures of Bonelli's as you requested the other day.

    It seems some of the common swifts will be left behind. The COFIB, local wildlife recovery centre, has over 600 chicks fallen off nests to feed every day, three times. They are calling on volunteers to help as their staff is completely overwhelmed by the situation.

    A few of yesterday's birds in Can Guidet (Roller, Black and Whiskered Terns) and Prat de San Jordi (Gull-billed terns). Two of the latter were there this morning but the Rollers and Marsh terns had moved on.

    Last week, I had a chance to participate in the monitoring of two potential Griffon roosting sites in the Tramuntana in an effort to update the last census of 54 birds some 7 years ago or so. At one site (Mossa) only 2 pairs showed up, visibly preparing nesting sites, while the other site...

    A red-breasted Merganser in Salobrar this morning. Also a Bluethroat, Osprey, about 26 Cranes but over 50 were seen later in the day, 200 Flamingoes, lots of more usual waders, including 2 golden plovers. Tens of thousands of starlings.

    Here are some pictures of an (the?) Egret I found today in Ciutat Jardi in a group of Little Egrets. The Southerly winds were strong so they had found refuge up a torrent. The consensus seems to be for an hybrid of Little and Cattle.

    Hi Mike, This may help for Honey Buzzards http://rspb.royalsocietypublishing.org/content/284/1855/20170387 Or this for Montagu’s http://rspb.royalsocietypublishing.org/content/281/1778/20132897 Both have good maps for a sample population.

    Google maps coordinates: (39.5808580,2.7506409) The pool is quite large so it will require a scope to really see the birds in the far corner as there is no direct access, viewing is from the road through wire fencing.

    Some pictures of the Montagu's in Vilafranca earlier this week, and a Northern wheatear in the same area. Then the White-headed Duck female/juvenile, and a nice Black-necked Grebe both in Can Guidet, this morning.

    Thanks Martin for the link, I had read this before but I still need to get my head around what flows where. A study for a cold winter day perhaps. Great to catch up Mike, sorry you could not stay longer, you missed the action ;) The 6 black kites came back in for a while, grew their number to...

    You are correct, they do not control the water level at Cibollar but they do at Sa Roca. Something to do with where the water comes from, the sea on one side and river/rain overflow on the other. I don’t have the hydrographic details to fully explain it. I am sure you will see plenty of...

    Mallorca 2018

    First visit in a while to s’Albufera this morning. Not surprisingly, very little around. The most notable waders, were a dozen of Spotted Redshanks in Sa Roca, and a Kingfisher showing quite well for a while. 4 Marsh Harrier moved in briefly and so did a Purple Heron. A flock of 50 Bee-eaters...

    Hi Mike, I thought Jordi had confirmed back in around April/May that there was a nesting pair in Esporles. And a pair was sighted some weeks earlier around Bunyola. I don’t know of any other sightings until now other than on migration.
