Wednesday 23rd May (One Less Dartford Warbler)


Mr. Kite looked out of The Joint window over Horcajo de Les Montes. The scop's owl had stopped calling and a desperate cuckoo started. Soon the sun was shining on the plains of the land.

So in the heat Mr. Kite cycled along the road into Cabaneros Parque Nacional. With great optimism Mr. Kite went in search of warblers. To cut a long story short the only positive identification was a dead dartford warbler. Looking rather colourful and forlorn Mr. Kite put the corpse under a bush and looked for it's living relatives. A few fleeting glimpses of warblers was had but no positive sighting could be seen.

Two griffon vultures flew over and on the return leg Mr. Kite watched two eagles; possibly golden but they were flying fast in the wrong direction.

Not the best days watching birds was followed by a cool tipple of Das Helle Suffig Vollmundig. Cheers to the birds of Cabaneros. Time for more beer. Cheers.
