The guide Mike recommends, Elspeth Becket, is far and away the best one if you can get hold of a copy. It's still available here but only in Catalan. Other guides are for sale at the main reserve, Albufera.Eleanora's Falcons typically arrive around 22nd/24th April so you are borderline. However, in recent years, the odd one or two have arrived earlier than this. I have seen them around the time of your arrival date both at Albufera and Son Real where several people saw one on the 2nd April. You will hopefully be lucky although it all depends on the year. It's a good time to be coming to the Island and there are lots of places to go which are good for all the family and good birding too, Son Real and Mortitx are two examples. Let me know if you need any further help with any species. This thread is always kept up to date though. Mike</blockquote>
