Monday 5th September 2016 Majorca Spain

Hot hot hot.....

Today was forecast to be 36'c, it didn't feel that hot but now at 21:30 its very warm and humid..

Needless to say I've not done a great deal apart from sit in the shade, so this evening I went for a walk along the sea front and found some decent wildlife in  the form of a relatively rare gull.. Audouins Gull, so finding four together was a nice surprise.

This gull is rarely found away from the coast, preferring rocky areas and spending long periods at sea a real pelagic species.

Apart from the gull the bird list is poor, (not a lot to see from the sun lounger). with Turtle Dove, Woodpigeon, Yellow legged Gull, Red Legged Partridge and Western Orphean Warbler the only other species seen.

Tomorrow morning will hopefully see me exploring  a nearby nature reserve called     Punta de n'Amer, which is a scrubby coastal area.

An increasing threat - Wildfire

  Bore da pawb, Sounds dramatic and maybe an odd thing to think about given the amount of rain storm Bert dumped on South Wales in the past ...
