Wednesday 6th June (A Cooler Day)


Mr. Kite looked out of The Joint window into a cloudy sky. A scop's owl had just finished calling and a golden oriole now started as a woodpecker drummed quietly on a tree. It was cloudy and cool under the evergreen oak trees.

Later in the morning Mr. Kite set out along the BU-925 through Quemada, Zazuar and onto the impressive skyline of Penaranda de Duero. Overhead booted eagles mixed with black kites and two honey buzzards made an appearance.

On the ground crested larks and woodlarks were plentiful. One golden oriole made a flight across a road. To cut a long story short Mr. Kite did not watch too many birds. Returning to the camp-site via Aranda de Duero Mr. Kite went into a local park to see lots of captive ducks. Poor things.

With more than forty miles covered Mr. Kite enjoyed a tipple of Mahou Classica. Cheers.
