Mallorca Day 3

Explored the north of the island today with the family. Drove along the Formentor peninsula which was a complete nightmare due to thousands of Lycra clad cyclists and in the afternoon we visited S'Albufera. Ebird list here. Highlights included a nice suite of Mediterranean water birds including Marbled Teals and Red-knobbed Coots, Nightingales singing everywhere and a Golden Eagle being mobbed by Marsh Harriers (although I did read that there was an escaped Golden Eagle in the area in recent years).
