Mallorca in October



In an attempt to lengthen the summer, work on our condition and watch birds, we visited the North of Mallorca in October.
We were successful in all our goals! Nice walking weather and many active birds.
It was especially nice to meet a new species we never saw before: the Stone-curlew! 
A cute bird with beautiful yellow eyes, living in groups.
In s‘ Albufera, Mallorca’s natural park, we enjoyed in the mild weather all sorts of birds, butterflies & dragonflies.
We saw many herons and egrets, black-winged stilts, sandpipers and above all an osprey that was eating and bathing joyfully (so it seemed ;-).
It’s such a pleasure to have the time to observe wildlife in unspoiled nature!
