Observers: Antonio Sandoval, Daniel Fernández, Pablo Pita

Red-billed Chough visits to the Observatory were welcome all through these days, as the seabird passage was a bit poor, due to the NE winds.

Anyway, on 8th a few Mediterranean Gulls were on the move:

The first two juveniles of the season of this beautiful gull was seen the following day. Also the first juvenile Balearic Shearwater and a Common Minke Whale (Balaenoptera acutorostrata). The usual pods of Common Dolphins and Harbour Porpoise also visited the area. Cory's Shearwater and Northern Gannet's passage was below 100 birds/hour.

The soundtrack of the dawn of 10th were the songs of Melodious Warblers:

Dartford Warblers, instead, were mostly silent, hiding in the Common Gorse:

During the night only one British Storm Petrel had been caught in the ringing net by Pablo Pita.

​At sea the seabird movement kept poor, even when the wind changed to NW. At least one Pomarine Skua was a nice sighting, as these birds always are!
