Spain 5th January 2016

Another long walk...



After overnight rain, the morning quickly improved to clear skies and sunshine, with the temperature topping 21' with a brisk westerly wind

We headed on foot along the sea front towards Benalmedena and the marina.

Given how busy with walkers it was there was little in the way of birds but we did pick up...

A classic 1st winter Yellow Legged Gull

Crag Martin (100+)Black Headed Gull, Lesser Black Backed Gull (1000+), Yellow Legged Gull, Mediterranean Gull (2), along with Monk Parakeet, Spotless Starling and possible Rock Dove.
