Illa de l’Aire ringing migration site

The 1^st of April started the ringing migration site at Illa del Aire. Today we have done our first tour to the island with Mark and Andrew. We have ringed lots of migrants: Redstart, Subalpine Warbler, Robin, Song Thrush, Willow Warbler, Chiffchaff, Dunnock…, and some residents; Linnet, Sardinian Warbler…, but the highlight has been a female of Bluethroat.

We have also seen many birds during our stay on the island: Cory’s Shearwater, Yelkouan Shearwater, Shag, Great Egret, Booted Eagle, Peregrine Falcon, Turnstone, Redshank, Common Sandpiper, Yellow-legged Gull, Audouin’s Gull, Sandwich Tern, Hoopoe, Wheatear, Woodchat Shrike…

Fantastic and sunny day with our friends of Societat Ornitològica de Menorca.
