Canary Island Catchup

Marginally a better title than Torment In Tenerife?
Yesterday Wednesday was the absolute pits. Usual Serin Collared Doves & couple Blackbird. A long coastal trek produced 3 YLG and the 2 Little Egret. Perhaps a 3rd LE was in the area but I was on a downer with a faulty camera 😢.  
Did someone say So what’s the gripe when there’s nowt to photograph? 😭.

Today Thursday was perhaps 5% better 😏. I got a pr then a single Bertholot’s Pipit. The latter in a Tree which is apparently part of their behaviour. The pair were on the deck but I had to ditch 4 photos due to the a/m fault. 
A Barbary Partridge shrieked at me from just a few yards away.
Also 1 each WW & Kestrel & a couple YLG oh lets not forgot the Serin plague.
