A fresher feeling day today and, with the westerly (poniente) wind, much clearer views. There were a couple of booted Eagle milling about the village most of the day and during the afternoon a Short-toed Eagle flew in and landed on a tree just below Calle del Pino; Short-toed Eagles rarely venture so close to the village but one hot afternoon last summer a bird, possibly the same one, landed in the same tree.
On Saturday evening I found a Common Swift fledgling on our terrace; I presume it fell out of a nearby nest but couldn't locate it to return it. It was too young to fly and sadly, despite taking some water from time to time, it wasn't interested in feeding and it died this evening.
