Mallorca Holiday 28th April 2015 : Son Bosc, Depuradora de S’Illot and S’ Albufera
Our destination this day was to the S’ Albufera nature reserve near C’an Picafort, a huge reserve that always impresses with its huge range of habitats and species. We also had another target, though, and that was to try to see Bee Eaters. A couple we had met at the Casa Boquer had shown us pictures of Bee Eaters on the power lines at the Son Bosc site just outside the edge of the S’Albufera reserve. They told us that if we couldn’t see them there the we wouldn’t see them anywhere! Gosney also says that this is the best site for this species so heartened by this we set out with the idea that we would get there by walking through the S’Albefura reserve.
