| Turtle Dove |
It was lovely to see this little fella very close to our hotel amongst the bushes.The Turtle Dove is a dainty thing, smaller and darker than the collared dove and slightly larger than a blackbird. Its upperparts are distinctively mottled with chestnut and black nd its black tail has a white edge. They havebecome increasingly rare following rapid and sustained population declines. One cause of the decline is thought to be lack of seed and grain as food during the breeding season, resulting in a much shorter breeding season. Not to mention being a target for hunters during migration.The species is now included on the Red List of conservation concern.

| Menorcan horses |
Taking a different route off the 'Cami de Cavalls' provided some intersting wildlife and scenery around Sant Tomas. The Menorcan horse is very impressive or Cavall Menorquà if you prefer.
A couple of Marina , notice my homemade seating arrangement on the beach !
This beautiful yacht was crusing along the coast as I made my way to Son Bou.
Lovely pictures Crusty Horse, such a pity (for you and all) that you had to return home.
