Birds seen included Flamingos, BW Stilts, Kentish Plovers, Common and Green Sandpipers, Dunlins, Little Stints. Great Egrets, Shellducks galore, Spotted Redshank, Curlews, Kestrels and Marsh Harriers. Water Rail heard. A flock of some 300 Goldern Plovers flew overhead.But the best bird of the day was the Avocet. Some 50 birds looking in wonderful condition.
Now to focus - Cap de Ses Salines.
Balearic Shearwater, cormorant, Shearwater, gull, Shearwater, Auduoins gull, cormorant, gannet ( total of 5 seen), Sandwich tern, Shearwater.etc etc.(Over 250 Shearwaters flew past. Several large floatillas seen in 1.5 hours)
