17 august: Lesser Kestrel and first Pied Flycatcher

During the morning a Lesser Kestrel in company of 3 other unidentified Kestrels (mos surely also Lesser; there is an influx in the mountains a few km south) was found at «La Garita de Bares», the hights close to the headland. Some hours later, the first Pied Flycatcher of the autumn was found in the sane place. Meanwhile, at sea the passage was quite boring, with only a few birds of the usual species in this time of the year. A male Peregrine tried to catch a Little Tern, but he found out it was not easy in a strong NE wind.
