    The 2017 report is another quality publication. Appreciate the time & effort that everyone puts into it. Make a £10 paypal donation every month, but there didn't seem to be an easy way to become an actual member, or did i miss something on the website.

    Where to Stay in Pollensa

    Hi Jeff, Wouldn't really class Puerto Pollensa as 'resorty', its definately low key compared with Alcudia. I've stayed at the Pollensa Park, & found it perfectly adequate, but i tend to stay further round the bay at Playa du Muro, as its quieter than Alcudia, & you're on the doorstep of the...

    Mallorca 2014

    Hi Bob, Yes, the turning is a far way down the lane beyond the rise in the road, there was a wreck of a house on the left hand side just before the turning, with 'Se Vende' & a phone number painted on the front wall...remember wondering what sort of offer the owner would accept...what a great...

    Mallorca 2014

    Isn't that typical, just as i come home, it starts to pick up ! Lots of quantity in the last week, but less quality than i've known in previous years, but its still the best place for seeing the traditional mediterranean species at close quarters in full plumage, whilst being surrounded by...

Highlight of the Albufera was 3 Spoonbill on friday, but didn't see Osprey or Woodchat Shrike all week. Great views of Stone Curlew, & plenty of Beeaters on the road down to the...

    Puerto Pollensa - Advice Required

    Hi Chris, I'd recommend buying a copy of 'Finding Birds in Mallorca' by Dave Gosney. It pretty much has the Pollenca/Alcudia area covered with some very detailed maps of the best spots in the area for birding. There is a regular bus service that runs down the coast road between PP & C'an...

    Mallorca 2014

    Sounds like things are starting to pick up, i fly out on 26th for a week, staying in Playa de Muro, so hopefully there should be plenty to see & the temperatures will have risen a little. Absolutely love that part of the world...oh to be a lottery winner ! Phil
