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. adult Audouins Gull 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. Badly lit Yellow-legged Gull Tomorrow morning will hopefully see me exploring a nearby nature reserve called Punta de n'Amer, which is a scrubby coastal area.
