We began the day at Font Roja, from the car park we explored the various tracks through the woodland. Three hours before lunch here produced a number of good species including, Firecrest (5), Short-toed Treecreeper (numerous), Great Tit (numerous), Coal Tit (5), Long-tailed Tit (7), Crested Tit (6+), Blackcap (2), Willow Warbler (3), Black Redstart (4) and an adult Bonelli's Eagle.

After lunch and some superb views of Crested Tit at Font Roja, we headed across the valley to the other side of Alcoi where a number of gorges can be accessed. Our walk into the main gorge produced 9 Griffon Vulture (including the wing tagged bird pictured above), Black Redstart (15+), Black Wheatear (2, pictured above), Sparrowhawk (1 male), Chough (2), Raven (3), Crag Martin (50+) and Blue Rock Thrush (4).
