Hi Neil, yes, all reports are interesting so do please post what you see. Already you have seen some good birds. I have not received any sightings of Little Bittern at Maristany so I'm very pleased to hear that they are there this year. Thanks and good birding! Mike
... and a rather large Terrapin sunning itself. Estimate carapace diameter c.1 ft (30cm)
Don't suppose you saw it close enough to confirm if it was a Red-eared Slider. I've seen them in s'Albufera (including a female egg-laying) but not at Cuber. Someone must really have wanted to dispose of it to drive all that way!

Hello!
This morning there's a Black-necked Grebe at la Gola, in Síller stream, second bridge from the Ornithological Center (thanks to Ben).
Also some Willow warblers in the surroundings.
Many thanks Neil for all your posts, very interesting and some good birds too, glad you got one Honey Buzzard. Sorry about the Cap, I tried to get there myself this morning as I thought the winds would have brought some good birds. Tomorrow maybe! Safe trip home but don't leave it another thirty years, I definitely won't be around!!
A few Dotterel have been seen, from now onwards it's worth checking all fields for autumn passage of these rather nice looking birds, there will be a few trips over the next few weeks.
Please stay! Still need bng for my Mallorca list. We arrive on Tuesday!
