Dear Steve,
just to add to the Eleanora’s falcon bat catcher (dark form) we were lucky to see another more multicoloured individual near La Donzell d’Urgell, on 25th July, in the early evening. There were two young goshawks crying out and playing on the breeze in our area too most of that week.
Earlier that day, from the comfort of our roof terrace in Ca la Nuria, Montclar, I saw great through the wing views of a party of three pallid swifts showing the contrast of dark outer primaries and larger white throat bib. They were probably passing through but who knows ?
During our two weeks plenty of short toed, golden and booted eagles and parties of black and red kites over the fields and woods below us. On our visit to Montsonis we saw two adult Egyptian vultures but the usual Bonellis were probably watching us from the shade.
Good to see you and Florinda at our Festa Major.
PS we think the newsletter is excellent.
Happy Birding.
Thanks for your comments Alan, they’re much appreciated!
