We had a day out yesterday with Pere Tomàs of Mallorca Natural Tours - a company to be fully recommended to anyone visiting the island and wanting to see and hear about its birds, flowers and ecology. Thanks Pere. We started our day at Son Bosc as the afternoon was scheduled to be 28 degrees or more in the afternoon. Son Bosc has 9 species of orchids (including Anacamptis robusta - an endemic Marsh Orchid, images 3 and 4). The bright conditions made flower photography difficult but did encourage some higher contrast images including the spider on Bee Orchid and the Holly Blue. Birds were distant but several new sightings for the list including Fan -Tailed Warbler (now called Zitting Cisticola) and Bee Eaters (lots flying around but only distant perched birds)
