Not exactly a rare bird, but still a very popular bird, the Robin. I quite like the look of it sitting on top of the yellow flowers on the Gorse.

Spotted in the distance at Gruinart (hence the not great photo quality, had to crop this quite a bit), a Buzzard being mobbed by a Lapwing and a Crow (not sure what type). This went on for a while, unfortunately can’t remember how it ended.
