Mallorca Holiday April – May 2015 Summary<\/h3>\n

Guide Books<\/h4>\n

The two books I relied on were, firstly, Dave Gosney’s book ““Finding Birds in Mallorca”<\/a> (which comes with a DVD of the sites in the book and some of the birds you can see at them and, secondly, “A Birding Tourist’s Guide to Majorca” by Maties Rebassa et al<\/a>, which is a more recent book, more colourful and a good companion to the Gosney book, but it does not replace it.<\/h4>\n
