Be another running Post today as we cover the Western end of the Island. Firstly though, I'm out looking for Blue-cheeked Bee-eaters! I'm trying the area where three were seen yesterday afternoon. I drove the Coast as much as possible on the way down...
Gave it till 8.30...no joy.
Off to Theletra now to try for Long-legged Buzzard.
11am Update
Finally found the spot. Following in the footsteps of Gosney...
As we arrived a LLB flew across...too fast for a pic but a great view. Just had another view way up high.
A message...
BAR-TAILED LARK at Cape Greco
No...I won't be going.
3pm Update
Found another Flycatcher! The power of suggestion is strong. Immediate thoughts were Semi-collared, probably more in hope than judgement! After mulling it over and sharing BOC with a few pals...alas, I feel it's a Pied. In my defence I don't have much/any experience with this bird...as it's a Lifer! Trip tick though...
Just going to find a SCF now...
6pm
Back at the Ranch. No SCF but great views (no pic) of another LLB. The Collared Flycatcher remained in the same area...
Trip Total 146
