Last throw of the dice



So it's our last visit of the year to Montnegre and check out if those red billed Finches were still around. Not feeling my best and with a hangover, and not much sleep we set off.

Well it looks like they now dispersed, migrated, as there no sign of the Trumpeter Finch.

John and I have identified 3 nesting site over spring and summer which was very helpful.

I was quite around the valley with most birds keeping there heads down in the brisk chilly wind, temperature only 17 degrees.  With the exception of about 300 House Martin's sheltering out the wind, and a hand full of Swallows, a Blue rock Thrush, that was the best of it.

We did a detour to Tibi Reservoir for a look, but nothing of any note to report but very picturesque, haven't been there for years and I expect it might be a similar time before I go back.

Next week the Salinas,  Flooded Fields if we're lucky, San Felipe, it'll be good to do some Birding rather than research.

have fun

Cheers Bryan
