MERRY CHRISTMAS

Merry Christmas to everyone, enjoying some fabulous weather here in Spain and a few good birds.

A walk along Oliva Beach yesterday produced plenty of Balearic Shearwaters, Audouin's & Yellow-legged Gulls, Sandwich Terns, Sanderling and Kentish Plovers. Then a stroll up to the 'old castle' we saw several Dartford & Sardinian Warbler, Blackcaps, Chiffchaffs, a couple of Crossbills, Sparrowhawk, Short-toed Treecreeper, Serins, Chaffinches, Stonechat and Black Redstarts.
The warm weather brought out a few butterflies with Wall Brown, Red Admiral, Clouded Yellow and Small White all on the wing.
Not bad just minutes from the house!!!
