I spent a good few hours by the viewpoint sketching and painting. Surprisingly, mammals were more in evidence today. There were 2 adult Chamois with a suckling fawn, 1 Roe Deer, 1 Red Squirrel and a Red Fox, asleep in the sun.
Other non-avian sightings included several Brimstones, some in pairs. 1 Peacock and a Wall Lizard.
2 Ravens, a pair of Woodpigeons and a male Peregrine were seen around the cliffs. Most annoying were the no less than 4 singing Bonelli's Warblers that refused to show - I still need a good, long view of this species, Blackcaps and Chiffchaffs were singing in the woods, Willow warbler was notable by its absence. More obliging was a singing Coal Tit, so obliging it was almost picked off by a male Sparrowhawk.
Yesterday there was a female Siskin in Rue Tristan Bernard, many people are reporting reasonable numbers lingering.
