Back from Ile d'Oleron late yesterday. Birds there were not so plentiful as they might have been considering the available habitat, especially marsh. We managed almost 100 species though. The highlights were: an osprey, washing itself on the shoreline, a single tawny pipit, a wood sandpiper, 20 or so avocets, plenty of marsh harrier and black winged stilts and scops owl calling each night near the villa we had rented.
Off to northern Spain later today. The weather forecast is not too good but birds should be plentiful.
