Seeing as it was our last day, I got out as early as possible to get in as much birding as possible. The usuals seen included Spotless Starling, Serin, Sardinian Warbler, Spotless Flycatcher, and a singing Turtle Dove. Two species which I haven't seen so much this holiday came in the form of a few Woodchat Shrike, and a singing Nightingale. The overwhelming best bird of the trip, however, was a Melodious Warbler (lifer) that showed well, giving great views and singing.
A Hoopoe was showing well outside the villa again.

The Hoopoe was outside the villa again, giving point-blank views.

A final walk along the seafront this evening produced a few Balearic Shearwater, and some Yellow-legged Gulls.
So, although this was the final day of the holiday, it had been a great one. The Melodious Warbler was a great bonus, along with seeing the Hoopoe so close- a wonderful end of the holiday.
