Olu Deniz Day 3

Don’t think I’ll bother birding here again after this mornings misery. I went round the local nature reserve which now charges about £2.50. This is not for nature conservation it’s to support the scores of cafe’s bistros & beer bars that have sprung up since I came here in 2023.

The marsh at the side of the Lagoon (about 3 Ogden Waters in area) didn’t have a single bird there. Nothing on the water apart from hundreds of tourists in it.

Oh I tell a lie; a YLG did fly over it.

I count myself very lucky to see an Icterine Warbler land atop a tree and a Crag Martin actually fly across a very busy street!

No raptors despite the mountains I reckon the hundred of hang gliders have seen them off.
