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!
