A good day for the garden today , a pair of Long tailed Tits - Turkish version. I rarely see them here. Also Masked Shrike and Bee-eaters using the power line in front of my desk window. Long legged Buzzard passed through attended by Hooded Crows.
A couple of days ago both Cetti’s Warbler and Nightingale within metres of each other in the orange grove next door. Both unexpected as they prefer the scrubby areas a couple of roads away and this is the first time I’ve seen them from the flat.
After a few days of silence I heard Golden Orioles singing today, Garden Warbler has been regular and Scops Owl has adopted the Mulberry by the house. Another or same Montagu’s Harrier (3 sightings this spring) patrolled the island of fields opposite us last week.
A big male boar is enjoying the Mulberry fest nightly, and I’m fairly sure of a Beech Martin glimpse in the pre-dawn gloom.
