However, we always look and work hard. It paid off this morning for in a little over an hour we saw the following:
A female Black Eared Wheatear was on the same small ridge as the Trumpeters yesterday.
A lone Raven flew and we saw two being mobbed by raucous Yellow Legged Gulls near to the Lighthouse.
A Peregrine Falcon perched on a pylon and within minutes two were seen flying away from the Lighthouse area.
On the hillside overlooking the car park Chiffchaffs were active and gave us clear views. In the same bush as a Chiff was active female Sardinian Warbler. Showing her white throat and a rich brown back.
We had seen Black Wheatears yesterday and today we saw three more with two males perched and singing.
Yesterday was windy and with less of it this morning and with hardly any traffic we saw more than we expected. It pays to get out early!
Photographs will be added soon to these two posts, courtesy of Bryan Thomas.
At Los Urritas we looked for the Rose Coloured Starling and with only a vague idea of where it had been, we failed. It would have been beneficial to have at least one exact location where it had been seen. I always try to be helpful.
That's it for about five weeks in Spain as we will be in the Gulf of Mexico and central Florida soon.
