First was the viewpoint overlooking the Torrent de Pareis, where we suspect we were too early for vultures, however a group of 17 birds sat on a ridge eventually took off and revealed themselves as Black Kites. A dark morph Booted Eagle also appeared over a distant ridge and a couple of Wrynecks were calling from the trees behind.
Further west we stopped at Cuber Reservoir, which proved to be much more successful with really nice views of 4 Black Vultures, and eventually 3 Griffon Vultures, along with 2 Booted Eagles, a Red Kite and 10+ Raven. Passerines here included Water Pipits and Firecrests.
On the drive back from Soller, our only Osprey of the trip was sat on a rock overlooking the reservoir at Gorg Blau and 2 Crag Martins flew over.
