After a couple of 'cooler' days i.e. 32-34C the temperature was back up to 'hot' again today. A look at the west slope of El Hacho from 09:00-10:00hrs didn't produce a great deal as most birds were already keeping their heads down. Sightings included: Common Kestrel, 3 Red-legged Partridge,
Woodchat Shrike (adult and juvenile), 25+
European Bee-eater (milling around rather then migrating, I think), Crag Martin, Common Swift, House Martin, Stonechat, Sardinian Warbler and a family party of Cirl Bunting.
Evening Swift sp. numbers over Calle del Pino/Convento now down to around 20-30 max.
