Very good numbers of migrants during these days at the headland, with a great fall of Meadow Pipits, Robins (they were everywhere) and Skylarks, as well as groups of Yellow Wagtail, Black Redstart, Coal Tit and Blue Tit, lots of Common Chiffchaffs, a few Willow Warblers and European Pied Flycatchers, one Spotted Flycatcher, some Northern Wheatears and Song Thrushes...

The main sightings were a Snow Bunting (first for the season at Galicia) at the beach, a Stock Dove and 2 Goldcrests on 12th.

At sea there were thousands o Gannets on the move: 9.471 were counted in 8,25 hs. Also 653 Balearics, 62 Bonxies and 156 Mediterranean Gulls. But only 13 Actic and 17 Pomarine Skuas.

By the way, have you ever seen a bird of this kind?

The local male Peregrine loves to watch the Headland from there.
