Yesterday 5th of April
We officially have a new member of the NBBC Michelle Edwards who forgot her bins this morning
"unbeliveable"
Lo Monte
Extended birding morning at lo Monte, it was good for a small reserve, male little Bittens chased the females around, the first highlight of the day an energetic Moustached Warbler showed on and off, disappeared and reappeared in another area for 15 minutes, difficult to get a clear photo as it sneaked in and out the reeds.

White-headed Duck and Common Pochard, Little Grebe, and Great-crested Grebe pass by the hide. We had some amazing views especially the Great-crested Grebe in his full summer plumage.

The second Hi-light of the day was a Gargarny Duck which dropped in for a minute or two before returning to the other pool.

Benejuzar
We birded for an hour or so along the river, the bank we heard our first Cuckoo of the year and later on a proper view of this Cuckoo who whizzed around our heads displaying and calling "magnificent"
Quite a few Nightingale singing and at least 2 Melodious Warblers and the Same in number for Woodchat Shrike,

Missed photo opportunity of the day A Iberian Green Woodpecker which was perched on the wooden post by the side of the track at a few meters.
