I was fortunate enough to go to Cabrera this weekend with the local group of birders. Cabrera delivered. A stunning Collared Flycatcher entertained us for two days just metres in front of the picnic area, and was joined with what Dani Hinckley of our group correctly identified as a very rare (for Spain) Isabelline Wheatear. In total 69 species were seen or heard in two and half days, including Whinchats (20+), Whitethroats (20+), Garden (6+), Subalpine (6+), Wood (20+) and Willow Warblers (6+), Redstarts (30+), Pied Flycatchers (30+), and more. Few local and migrant raptors, a sparrowhawk, local pairs of osprey, peregrines and just arrived Eleonora's.
