Day Two - Sunday
The day started off cloudy with the strong southerly wind still blowing in. An early morning seawatch saw that shearwaters were still grouping in numbers off the headland. Again, the larger paler Cory's Shearwater were relatively easy to separate from the darker and smaller Balearic Shearwaters. Yellow Legged and Audouin's Gulls drifted in and out of view as well.
Overall though a quiet day around the resort getting familiar with the local surroundings. Sardinian Warblers continued to sing and fly around the hotel grounds, along with Greenfinch and Goldfinch. Starlings flew from rooftops but at the time were ignored until later in the week... As the wind dropped and the sun came out in the afternoon butterflies started to appear. Cleopatra, Speckled Wood, Wall Brown, Large and Small White, Southern Common Blue and Red Admiral were seen.
The first lizards of the trip were seen near the hotel grounds, the Lilford's Wall Lizard.
