I took advantage of a mid-morning trip to the coast to drop in at the gorge at Canuto de Utrera near Manilva/Casares. Unfortunately, the wind was gusting strongly, particularly where it was channelled by the gorge but I did see Griffon Vulture, Short-toed eagle, Booted Eagle, 12
Honey Buzzard (10 kettling west of the gorge and 2 directly above it), Common Buzzard and 2
Black Kite that didn't appear to be migrating; also, Blue Rock Thrush, Crag Martin,
Red-rumped Swallow, Barn Swallow, Common Swift, Woodchat Shrike, Blue Rock Thrush, Sardinian Warbler and Serin.
On the drive back to Gaucin I checked out the
Bonelli's Eagle nest and there was an adult on it eating its prey; it didn't seem to be incubating eggs.
