Algendar Gorge (Cala Galdana) 09/09/22

The gorge is accessed from Cala Galdana though exploration was limited by a locked gate on the main access track. Nevertheless there was good habitat prior to that point, the site proving to better for birding than others I have tried on Menorca.

A couple of bright Willow Warblers were seen in hedgerows while several Nightingale were heard from within more dense scrub. Two shrikes were found, both juvenile Woodchat, plus a Kingfisher was heard.

Raptors were represented by a pale morph Booted Eagle and an adult Egyptian Vulture.
