Comfortably settled in to the house in Vila do Bispo, I spent a while compiling a new 'garden list' this morning for this location and, it makes quite interesting reading so far:- Fan-tailed Warbler, Common Whitethroat, Corn Bunting, White Wagtail, Hoopoe, Stonechat, Spotless Starling, Sardinian Warbler, Crested Lark, Raven, Chough, Peregrine, Kestrel and Black Kite. Not bad for a little while leaning on the garden wall. With the excitement of my Red-breasted Flycatcher yesterday, which is still present, I omitted to include a young Egyptian Vulture at Cabranosa seen in the afternoon. Cabranosa was a little quiet again today, in the time I was there (3 hrs), I recorded 3 Short-toed Eagle, 4 Booted Eagle, 3 Sparrowhawk and a Honey Buzzard. Non-raptor interest included a Bee-eater, a Pallid Swift and a Swallow. Juvenile Short-toed Eagle. A lone juvenile Black Stork made three circuits of the Sagres peninsula, before heading off. Both Crested and Thekla's Lark occur here, this Thekla's sang over us all the time.
