    Sorry no. It was very quick to slide off into the water once it realised I had noticed it. Surprised at the size of it. Seen lots around the world and this looked pretty well grown. No apex predators to see off this sort of invasive alien.

    Thank you Mike. Just Black Vulture over Bunyola; Booted Eagle (dark & light phases), Red Kite, Stone Curlews and Euro Nightjar from our villa at Can Segue today to report. Also great to see half a dozen Eleonora's around Formentor. Spotted Flycatcher seems to be the bird of the moment. Cheers,
