    There you go Ian, this is what makes this forum so special and a personal invitation from Mike can't be bad. I had a personal message last night from a forum member helping us with our quest next year. Purring Turtle Doves to wake you up Mike, so jealous we just have young squawking Magpies. T&C

    Ugly, bad and good........... Our trip contained all of the above sadly. Ugly: a birder approaching a Stone Curlew nest to get a better photograph despite having a telephoto lens to try to get a shot of eggs, the nest was in a finca and was clearly visible just 20 yards away. Different birder...

    Today the cupboard was bare we ventured to S'Abufereta and could find anything new good views of Osprey and Stone Curlew. Then onto the back lanes after wasting time waiting for a bus. Again nothing new from the back lanes except a Swallowtail and Mr Bogey bird (Wryneck) calling. Very windy...

    Today we ventured to Mortitx our first visit to this site, the bus does not stop outside so it was taxi time so glad it was them driving. Our bogey bird the Wryneck called but was not seen, no change there then. Within minutes of passing the shop we had a Griffon Vulture almost overhead, we then...

    Arrived in PP this morning and was kicked out by Cath as she unpacked as I was left to go through Bocquer, really wish I hadn't more people (76) than birds (25) only adding Raven and Crag Martin to the list (73) nearly three hours work. After lunch I announced plans for a visit to Can Cuarassa...

    Stew, we saw the first terrapin one close up along the Cami de ses Puntes path it was on the path itself. We've never seen a slider close up and this one had retracted it's head so there no chance of seeing its ears. I have phone shot and will post when we arrive home next week The second one...

    Ironman event put a spanner in the works this morning as we couldn't catch the bus so we opted for a taxi to take us to Santa Margilida and from there we would walk the lanes/roads looking for our targets for the day. Unfortunately we drew a blank on Short-toad Lark and Lesser Kestrel despite...

    Yesterday morning we had a decision to make did we head to Can Cuarassa with the hope of a Roller or should we stick to our plan and go to Son Real and try to find a Wryneck which is a bogey bird for us. We headed for the bus to Can Picafort eventually hoping to get a connection down to Son...
