Menorca

That's them all.



Menorca

A Few More.



Menorca

A family break to Menorca with a few mornings birding thrown in.The thing that surprised me was you didn't have to look far for anything as there were birds everywhere.I ventured out a few afternoons but it was way to hot and the heat haze was down to a few yards.
