    The 2 best sites for Collared Pratincole are probably Albufera and Salobar de Campos (think that's right Mike?) This is near the southern tip of the island....Good luck with your birding . Jonny

    Also called Toucan Marsh i think, Maristany is right behind the Lidl supermarket on the roundabout in Alcudia. A nice easy site for an hour or 2 visit in the morning or evening.

    Hi Mike - i am sure others have had the same luck with Wryneck, but i have almost always seen a pair at the entrance to the Boquer, generally between the 2 gates leading to the finca, as well as in the orchard at the mouth of the valley....i have seen these in both late April and later into May...
