Another day in the life in the Valley Montnegra.
Nice early start and in place and Birding well before 8 o'clock, it was a refreshing breeze almost chilly. It didn't take more than a few minutes and a Black-eared Wheatear popped up and then a Spotted Flycatcher showed close by on a fence.

The resident Blue rock Thrush put on a fabulous open-air concert, singing all the time while we were there, amazing.

| Pavarotti |
The star of the show was a pair of Trumpeter Finches which dropped in briefly, this pair of trumpets are different from last week's sightings as they both have Leg rings.

Also Black Wheatear, and Red-rumped Swallows.
The trip around, and stopping at our favourite sites produced at least 3 Melodious Warblers.

| Melodious Warbler Number 1 |
 |
| Melodious Warbler Number 2 This bird was deep in a black hole and a dense reed bed. I don't know how I've managed to pull this photo out of the shadows but it can be done in Canon RAW. |
Also a few Nightingale. The big surprise of the day was at least 2 Orphean Warblers which were very mobile, sorry no photos.
Go birding, enjoy being out there in the expanse and make some news.
Cheers Bryan
But where next?
