| A rather obliging female Serin |
On the 5th we went en famille to El Clot de Galvany. My wife confessed that this pretty urban oasis of a reserve was her favourite part of Spain and to be honest I dont think it is too shabby. Birdwise it was a little quiet although
Black Redstarts &
Robins abounded. A
Buzzard flew through with a squadron of
Crag Martins attached to its derrier. On the pool were many
Teal but none of the species which the reserve is rightly held in regard for. A handful of
Stonechats and
Iberian Grey Shrikes stood sentinel over the clumps of vegetation.
It all seemed a bit of a bust until something huge crossed the path ahead of us. I managed a distant shot of the disappearing tail of an
Oscillated Lizard. It was like an iguana and lumberingly slow in the cooling breeze.
