Whilst walking between San Martin de Tesorillo and Castellar de la Frontera at 0800hrs there was a great sighting in the form of a juvenile European Roller. The bird was perched on a telegraph wire and stayed for a couple of minutes before flying about 200m to another wire. This bird may be connected to the adult seen earlier in the month although they were about 5km apart. Walking up the old road to Castellar through the cork oaks there were at least 4 Bonelli's Warbler still singing.
