Friday 15th June (To the Reservoir)


Mr. Kite looked out of The Joint window into a blue sky. There was no dawn chorus. Today mr. Kite had a plan.

In the morning Mr. Kite set out to Embrial ed el Ferial; a reservoir. On the way nightingales could be heard. Seventeen miles later Mr. Kite was on the 'dam wall' looking at one great crested grebe. Searching the area Mr. Kite located house sparrows, bee-eaters and possibly lesser kestrels. For one hour Mr. Kite watched the fish in the lake and the birds.

In the heat it was time to move on. So a descent into Caparroso was followed by an ascent into the deserted village of San Nicolas where house sparrows and pied wheatears were on show. As the heat increased Mr. Kite decided it was time for a tipple.

He returned to The Joint for an Aurum Pilsen. Cheers from a scorching Spain.
