Many thanks wolfbirder looking forward to my trip now after all this great info!
Your'e welcome mate...........if just into photography you may as well spend most of youre time ambling around S'Albufera, as nearly all the islands birds can be seen from there, except vultures, Larks and Balearic Warblers & Blue Rock Thrush.
So it does depend what you want to get out of the trip. I love to explore and enjoy scenery, so getting to Cuber and Boquer and Formentor is important because it is so spectacular, and it is special if you can get there before the tourists, or early evening.
When I said early morning at S'Albufera, I mean about 8am, for the line-up of Night Herons by the S'Albufera entrance track. I beleive you can go in before it officially opens. Also, check out the pool by the main road (on the left) just after you leave C'an Picafort at the last roundabout, heading towards S'Albufera in Alcudia direction. I had great views of waders here. However, views here and from the hides on S'Albufera can vary each time, depending on water levels. Obviously you will work with appropriate sun angles, learning which hides offer best shots at certain times of the day. You will find the most productive spots when you go. Osprey, Eleonora's Falcons, Marsh Harriers, even a Monty, Purple and Squacco Herons, Bitterns may appear over the reedbeds at any time but may be hard to photograph in flight. Waterfowl, waders and 'some' passerines may be a little easier.
We had great views of Nightjars in the evening, perched on telegraph wires by the outside bar to the left of the hotel entrance, Hotel Exegon Park (was an Iberostar) in C'an Picafort. You can go in and buy a drink and then sit outside. Would have to google its address as its off the main street and in a quiet area of C'anPicafort. Also had calling Scops Owl in the scrub to the right of the hotel.
Wish i was going!
