Cabo de Palos
lighthouse garden
Weather: Sky 1/8 cloud, wind NW F2-4,
temp. 8ºC. 07:50 – 09:00.
An earlier
start this morning, and I seemed to beat the wind, only to have it to come back
up, (and feel cold!). A few new birds around
this morning, a couple of Northern Wheatears, 4 Woodchats, around 15 Willow
Warblers and a group of 12 Corn Buntings flew in while I was there (but no sign
of Ortolan Bunting, which I’ve had in previous years around about now).
For the 2nd day in succession, a female Common Redstart around the cliffs area
Always obvious when they come in even if not approachable - Woodchat Shrike
One of the 'plainer' residents, Spotless Starling
