Went to La Gola first thing, all very quiet but did see 1 crossbill in the woods and a very close up common sandpiper on the bridge handrail. Called in at Maristany, Mute Swan on far side of pond plus common and red crested pochard. Around 100 crag martins none as brown and white as the 3 hirundines we saw at Albufereta yesterday which we thought might be sand martins. On to La Victoria on Alcúdia Bay for an hour sea watching in difficult cold and windy conditions. Saw 20 shearwaters a good way out in a fairly lively sea, I am reliably informed these will be Balearics at this early stage in the year. Hopefully the worst day of weather is behind us, I shall return to La Victoria on a calmer day!
