    Crested & Thekla larks - Southern Portugal

    1. 2. 4. Crested Lark 3. 5 Thekla Lark Can you see the difference in bill size between the shots of the birds. Also for me Theklas look to have a more rounded head. Which overall gives them a different shape.

    Majorca information

    I agree. A day trip by public transport with limited time could be very difficult. Another thought for you. Maybe there is a tourist bus leaveing Palma heading to the Formentor penisula on a day trip. Eleonoras Falcons, Blue Rock Thrush, Baleric Warbler can/could be seen from Formentor.

    Majorca information

    From Palma bus station you need to take the bus to Alcudia a journey of around about 2 hours which MAY go past Albufera. If not you need to alight the bus at Port Alcudia then take another bus to either Albufera or in the other direction to the Boquer Valley taking around about 30 mins to either...

    Algarve Warbler

    The birds bill does not fit a Moustached warbler for me. I would go for a badly lit Zitting cisticola.

    How far do birders walk?

    African Reed Warbler

    With respect. If it was sat on the end of your nose you would not be able to ID it from a Eurasian Reed Warbler. Which is not to say you cant ID birds. Its a range and time only bird.
