Alcudia (Old Town)
It was market day in Old Town Alcudia,. So having waited for a bus that wasn't fully loaded, Dawn and I headed off to see what it was like.
It was actually pretty good, but I must say that a good 70% of the stalls are geared up for women and children. So Dawn was pretty happy.
After having walked around the market for a good 2 hours we had a look at the area where we saw the pair of Hoopoes last time we were here. And we weren't disappointed as both parents were continually flying back and forth to the nest.
Birds Recorded today including those seen on the walk to the bus stop and back:
