Today I ventured into Murcia for a walk around the Mar Menor, a very overcast day which didn't really produce the rain which had threatend in occasional showers. The star birds of the day included a juv Short-tord Eagle and 4 Richards Pipit pictured below, although the pipits showed well in the scope, they wouldn't really let me close enough to photograph them, hence the poor picture!
