I will forever be haunted by this footage. Trawling has only been filmed underwater a few times in documentary history, and never with such clarity. What’s so heart-rending about these shots is watching how the animals don’t just get swept up — they swim for their lives. 🌎🦑🧪

A morning stroll around the lanes near home here below the Castell de Santueri gave up 4 Hawfinches which all showed well feeding around fields with fruit trees. Also some nice Chaffinch flocks (virtually no Brambling on the island this winter) and a couple of Hoopoes.

He estat realitzant un transecte per al CBMS des del 2020 aquí a Mallorca, amb resultats molt interesants! Pero el descobriment d'una petita colònia de Gegenes pumilio ha estat la sorpresa més gran amb diferència! Una de les papallones menys conegudes d'Europa occidental.

A great first full day of our May tour with my @oriolebirding.bsky.social group in Mallorca saw us see the first Lesser Flamingo for the islands in maybe over 30 years! We also found a Pectoral Sandpiper and enjoyed Collared Pratincole, Temminck's Stint and Wood Sandpiper at the Salobrar de Campos.

!PhD opportunity! We are recruiting a student to use biotelemetry and modelling to understand bycatch in Europe's most endangered seabird, the Balearic shearwater. If you are interested come to our online Q&A session on 12th Dec. See advert below!
