This morning was spent photo-logging more of the entomology at the Balkep Centre and this afternoon we visited a nearby organic eco-farm and then had a look at various habitats and land uses in the Valley of the Roses.
Plenty of birds scattered around the landscape including Rough-legged and Common Buzzards, Golden Eagle, Booted Eagle, Red-backed and Lesser Grey Shrike, Cuckoos, Turtle Doves, Quail, Woodlarks, Golden Orioles, Bee-eaters, Ortolans, Black-headed Wagtails, Black-headed Buntings and Isabelline Wheatear.
