    Visiting the Algarve for the birds.

    Hi everyone. I'll be visiting the Algarve in July for a 'family' holiday (aka I'll be birding as much as I can) what's the best way to keep abreast of anything special birding wise while there. For instance Mallorca has a group chat on Birdforum run yearly for people visiting call Mallorca 2024...

    Mallorca 2022

    Flying home tonight just wanted to thank everyone on the forum for your advice, locations details and sighting information. 3 lifers (Balearic Warb, Tawny Pip and Bonelli's Eagle) and then a bunch of Spanish/Mallorca ticks on top of that made for a fantastic trip. I'm sure I'll be back to in the...

    A truly biblical drop in Swift numbers tonight from around say, between 50 to 100 to literally 5 this evening over the villa. I'm hoping they are just hunting else where this evening.

    Mallorca 2022

    Location sent via DM. Nope afraid not, we've been in the villa for 2 weeks and it's the first time I've seen them. We've spent so much time around the pool if they are in the area I would've defo have seen them already. But you never know. Thanks for the kind comments once I finish up my...

    Then back at the villa half a sleep on the pool lounger I look up and see a pair of Honey Buzzard and a Booted Eagle having a tussle. Basically point blank views.

    Mallorca 2022

    Again a lot to report on my last mornings birding. So as suggested by the forum I popped over to Mortitx early morning to get into position to try get the Bonelli's Eagles, a lifer for me. Weirdly the parking for the walk to the refuge was locked all morning so I parked up at the vineyard and...

    Mallorca 2022

    Another non birding day for me today, nothing special in the masses of Swift over the villa again early evening. Only an accompanying Booted Eagle soaring amongst them. Also hidden within the flock a single Barn Swallow. But tonight several churring Nightjar below our villa in the forested hills...

    Mallorca 2022

    Realistically I may only have 1 days birding left to me on what is a essentially a family holiday. So might concentrate on getting a Bonelli's Eagle so any gen would be appreciated. I know this is a sensitive bird so if info needs to be conveyed privately please do so. I know Mortitx is probably...

    Mallorca 2022

    Right again lots to report. Monday did zero birding and spent the day around the pool. But as the day cooled off we had masses of Swift over the villa working the hill tops and pined valleys below. (The villa has insane views all the way to Plama) Then quite easily out of the hundreds of Swift...

    Thank you very much for the link but I was thinking more along the lines of a feeding station for wild free birds if there is such a thing.
