Spain- Day 9, 22/06

 7:15

A long walk this morning found a very obliging family of Black Wheatear (year tick), and a singing Nightingale, heard and seen, which was rather unexpected. Also seen were plenty of Serin, Turtle Dove, Sardinian Warblers, Spotted Flycatcher, and Red-rumped Swallows.

20:00

An afternoon void of much interest ended with a short walk down the hill. The only thing of interest was a probable harrier sp. that flew overhead, but it was directly into the sun so I haven't been able to identify it yet. Seemed likely to be Montagu's, as it was very small. Got some research to do! Also seen were a few Serin, Spotted Flycatchers and Spotless Starlings.

Another nice day, great seeing the Black Wheater so close- fast becoming a favourite of mine, they're great!

 7:15 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...
