    Pale legs rule out Rock & Water, I would agree with Mipit. Chris

    In the Vall de Boquer and also towards the end of the Ternelles approach we had a few sightings of a ginger-brown goat. Are these wild? Chris

    I also had a Geranium Bronze at your 'double' water storage tanks in the Ternelles Stew. Only my second after one in the garden of our villa on Menorca. Chris

    Thanks Owen! Had already seen Lilford's on an island off Menorca last year but a different subspecies. Chris

    Thanks Mike, I was pretty sure but my listing software (Scythebill, which is usually spot on) said it wasn't present on the Balearics so wanted to check. Enjoy the Bee-eaters, going over our house in their hundreds at the moment, and will be for the next couple of weeks. Pleased you got the...

    A late update but may be of interest: Wednesday 13th was our last day on Mallorca and I had booked a ferry to take us out to the National Park of Sa Dragonera from Sant Elm on a quest for Eleonora's. A twenty minute crossing (cost 15Euro & 1Euro tax) brought us to Cala Lledo and a quick...

    Up to the Boquer Valley this morning hoping for better luck with Balearic Warbler. Less than three minutes after arriving at the location Pep had given me (many thanks Pep!) we had our warbler. Nice views and even managed a few dodgy shots! We then headed to Maristany where I managed to add...

    Went to Cuber Reservoir yesterday morning with the hope of Moltoni's Warbler. A beautiful location understandably very popular with walkers. Sadly no Moltoni's but plenty of Sardinians to keep me honest! The highlight for me was Red Crossbill (Balearic subspecies and a year tick) and four Blue...

    Arrived on the island around lunchtime on the ferry from Menorca (plenty of Scopoli's on the way over). By the time we had got the hire car, checked into our hotel in Pollenca and had a bit of lunch it was about half past four before I got to Albufera. Fortunately the Pacific Golden Plover was...

    Hi Steve, I am sure others can give you more information but I know the Jardi Botanic de Lluc is nearby and will be visiting it on our trip (primarily for butterflies and dragonflies in my case!) HTH, Chris

    Many thanks again Pep! Was planning to call in at Mortitx on our way back from Cuber so fingers crossed. Hopefully I will get to both Albufera and Maristany. Chris

    Now that I've got my primary targets sorted thanks to the good folk on here (Balearic Warbler - Boquer Valley, Moltoni's Warbler - Cuber and Eleonora's Falcon- Sa Dragonera), my thoughts are turning to other species it would be nice to catch up with again if time allows. Bonelli's Eagle is a...

    Not quite "raucous" enough for Great Reed for me Mike, at a loss to what it is though! Chris

    That's fantastic Pep, many thanks indeed! I have the location already from your superb map, but the extra detail is very helpful. I will of course post my sightings on here. Chris

    Hi Pep, Where would you say is the best place for Balearic Warbler in the north of the island? We are staying in Pollenca between the 10th and 14th of September but I have a car and am more than happy to travel as this is my No. 1 target. Thanks in advance, Chris

    To the best of my knowledge yes. Chris
