Message: <blockquote data-quote="Keith Dickinson" data-source="post: 1449711" data-attributes="member: 10828">Kathy We spent a couple of weeks in Menorca at the beginning of the 00's...2000 or 2001 can't remember when. We were based just south of Citudella on the West of the island and used a hire car to get around the island. At that time the driving was very easy, only one main road running from Citudella to Mahon, all the others run off that. No chance of getting lost.Son Bou is good for the marsh but be aware that the western end of the beach there is a nudist beach. Don't walk from the marsh to the beach for a stroll back to the car, I did wearing camo and carrying bins and a scope.... you'll get some very funny looks.We tended to make for a place close to Cala Morell called Algaiarens, there's just a beach by a lovely bay, but I found bee-eaters breeding there, cuckoos also. Osprey were seen on a couple of occasions. Yellow-legged gull were almost daily there. Plus we got good views of egyptian vultures on the ground. The bulk of the warblers could be seen within an easy walk of the beach, fan-tailed, sardinian and cetti's being the stars.We're going again this year but in September so I'll be posting a trip report then.</blockquote>
