Mallorca 12 -19 October 2012

Mallorca 14-21st
May 2004
- This was our first trip to Mallorca and found
it to be a really very stimulating place, the bird variety is
very good and the scenery spectacular. We booked through First
Choice, a relatively short flight of 4 hours, the transfer through
the airport and on to the coach was very efficient and the time
from airport to hotel was about 1 hour.....Robin Hadley

was well above expectations....Gonçalo Elias

~ the quiet side April 2003
- On our first field day we visit the Albufera
wetlands. En route, early birds include smart Red-crested Pochard
and Audouin's Gull with a very handsome Woodchat Shrike, perching
for all to admire in the scope. At the entrance to the Albufera
reserve, we pause at the heronry to compare Little and Cattle
Egrets, resplendent in elegant breeding plumes...Christopher
Hall reports
Mallorca 5-11th

produced hundreds of Coots and a few herons - Grey, Purple and
Squacco. Egret - Cattle, Little and Great White, and Purple Gallinule
all seen from the CIM Hide...John Kirby reports
Mallorca 27th
April to 4th May 2001
- As most of the best birding sites are located
in the north of the Island, it makes sense to be based in either
Pt. Pollenca or Alcudia in the north. This allows
all of the sites to be easily visited with minimal driving. When
staying in one of the above mentioned towns, the Boquer Valley,
Albufereta and S'Albufera can all be visited either on foot, by
bike or public transport, if you do not wish to hire a car for
the full duration of the trip...Morten Bentzon Hansen reports
Mallorca (North) May
2000 Trip Report
- A two week family holiday in Northern Mallorca
between May 11th and 25th 2000. We were
based in a villa 1km west of Pollenca booked through OSL in the
UK. Although a family holiday, the proximity of excellent birding
sites enabled me to undertake a considerable amount of birding.
A car was hired for the full two weeks but only sites in the North
and West were birded...Wilton Farrelly reports

brief moment...Mike King reports.
