Red-billed Chough - Antonio Sandoval
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!
