Quiet Birding Then Squacco’d

Yesterdays Bee Eaters descended into the hotel gardens come evening plenty of them too.

So even though I knew what would happen I was fully prepared this am and of course this was a mistake. 5 YLG couple Gt Tit a couple of brief  unid songs and chirps. I did pickup a short burst of calls from the Western Rock Nuthatch but that was it.

So I started counting the influx of Painted Lady butterflies when a most unexpected bird flew alongside the cliffs. Twas a Squacco Heron well far out from the nearest wetland. That’ll do 😋👍.
