Today Saturday 26 April. Hoping for a Dunnock the first bird I got was a singing Nightingale oh well. The forest was dirty filthy rotten with noisy Crossbills 😋. 4 Hoopoe heard or seen. Bee-eaters heard.
On the way down to the coastline: 2 Spotted Flycatcher & 4/5 Swift. 4 Stonechat in the scrubland.
1 Shag, 3 YLG & 5 Audouins Gull. 11 Turnstone were the only wader species present. 1 Grey Heron. As I was heading back to the hotel a pr Common Tern flew past calling 👍.
A word about Turnstone if you will. They are disgustingly cheeky birds 🤨. 6 of em were feeding together on the sandy beach and also the rocks. They didn’t give a damn about the birder 3 yards away getting his knickers in a twist photographing them. Nor did they care two hoots about holiday makers walking or jogging near them. Ignorant buggers 😅.
