Yesterday was very stormy with frequent showers but it
seemed Station 2 had the better of the weather and the numbers of birds. Ortolan
Bunting was a life bird for me with good views as the birds stayed low over the
station.
Station 2 – 22/8
Montagus 8, Marsh Harrier 40, MonPalHen 11, Booted Eagle 2, Lesser
Kestrel, Levant Sparrowhawk, Black Kite 159, Honey Buzzard 1,132, Ortalan
Bunting c25, Tree Pipit c5, Bee Eater are numerous across the area.
Today turned up another life bird Pallas’s Gull which was
found along the coast. The bird obliged by taking a fly over the station. I was
relieved to add this species to my life list having chased an individual along
the Bulgarian coast without locating it last year!
Station 1 – 23/8
Palid Harrier 6, Montagus 39, MonPalHen 33, Booted Eagle 35,
Levant Sparrowhawk c15, Black Kite 260, Honey Buzzard 9311, Black Stork, White
