There were also Fan-tailed Warblers and Greenfinches and Swifts flew overhead.<\/p>\n<p>As I tuned down the track from the main road\u00a0 I was immediately greeted with the song of Nightingale and Cetti&#8217;s warblers and I got very good views of a Serin. At the reserve the pools were fairly quiet with about eight Black-winged Stilts,\u00a0 a few Little Ringed Plover and a Greenshank. At one of the pools a Common Sandpiper was present. In the trees around there were calling Sardinian Warblers. I saw a of Stonechats and Fan-tailed Warblers (or Zitting Cisticolas). One the water were a pair of Red-crested Pochard and a holiday first &#8211; a humble Little Grebe. There were lots of Swifts in the sky and also a Kestrel.<\/p>\n<p>The day was starting to get very hot. It seems like the locals might be in for 25 degrees for their bank holiday ! As short a trip as it was there were some nice species and a holiday tick to boot !<\/p>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: center;\">Bird Sightings : C&#8217;an Cuarassa<\/h4>\n<table class=\"blogtable\" border=\"2\" cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\" align=\"center\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<th width=\"210\">Species<\/th>\n<th width=\"30\">Count<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Red-crested Pochard<\/td>\n<td>2<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Little Grebe<\/td>\n<td>1<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Common Coot<\/td>\n<td>2<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Black-winged Stilt<\/td>\n<td>8<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Little Ringed Plover<\/td>\n<td>6<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Common Sandpiper<\/td>\n<td>1<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Common Greenshank<\/td>\n<td>1<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Common Wood Pigeon<\/td>\n<td>2<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Common Swift<\/td>\n<td>10<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Common Kestrel<\/td>\n<td>1<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Cetti&#8217;s Warbler<\/td>\n<td>6<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Zitting Cisticola<\/td>\n<td>6<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Sardinian Warbler<\/td>\n<td>6<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Common Nightingale<\/td>\n<td>8<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>European Stonechat<\/td>\n<td>3<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Eurasian Blackbird<\/td>\n<td>1<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>European Greenfinch<\/td>\n<td>6<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Common Linnet<\/td>\n<td>1<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>European Serin<\/td>\n<td>1<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>House Sparrow<\/td>\n<td>12<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Mallorca Holiday 1st May 2015 : C&#8217;an Cuarassa, S\u2019Albufereta<\/p><p><a class=\"more-link btn\" href=\"https:\/\/www.billneil.co.uk\/blogs\/birding\/2015\/05\/mallorca-holiday-1st-may-2015-can-cuarassa-salbefereta\/\">Continue reading<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[12,8,10,28],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-4989","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-birding","category-birding-days-out","category-birding-on-holiday","category-contains-phots","item-wrap"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.billneil.co.uk\/blogs\/birding\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4989"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.billneil.co.uk\/blogs\/birding\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.billneil.co.uk\/blogs\/birding\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.billneil.co.uk\/blogs\/birding\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.billneil.co.uk\/blogs\/birding\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=4989"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/www.billneil.co.uk\/blogs\/birding\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4989\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":5056,"href":"https:\/\/www.billneil.co.uk\/blogs\/birding\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4989\/revisions\/5056"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.billneil.co.uk\/blogs\/birding\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4989"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.billneil.co.uk\/blogs\/birding\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=4989"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.billneil.co.uk\/blogs\/birding\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=4989"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
