A relaxed last
morning with a slow drive around the coast to spend a couple of hours around
Charamida before our flight back home. It was very cool and breezy and not
ideal conditions for seeing any small birds whatsoever. Sardinian Warblers did
however put on a show but the only Ruppell's that I saw was a two second pop up
and down before it got chased off by a Sardinian.

| Sardinian Warblers |
A large flock of
Alpine Swifts cruised through and Cretzschmar's Buntings gave a us a Beethoven
send off after a typically superb week on the Island.
