Mallorca

I booked a last minute family holiday to Mallorca to try and shake off the blues from the rocketing fuel prices,food costs and the dreaded Credit Crunch.Birding was restricted to a few early mornings around the villa and half a day at the Albuferra Reserve.Apart from this a few good birds were seen.Here are a few of the best pics.Click for big if you want to.

Blackwit

Had this back recently about a colour ringed Black Tailed Godwit seen at Goldcliff Pools.

Many thanks for the sighting

One Of These

I think one of these might be needed to find the Goldcliff Cattle Egret.

Is It Hiding At The Pools

Went to look for one of these.

But could only find one of these.

One of these.

And two of these.

But it could still be at the pools.

Thanks to M Jenkin for the kind permission to use the Cattle Egret Photo.
