A hot but happy crowd of Burbage Birders on the viewing

platform at the S**T  farm on Majorca From here we had

regular sightings of Whiskered Tern, Bee Eater, Fan Tailed Warbler ,

 Marsh Harrier, and some of those little brown jobs.

They also found it to be an excellent place to eat the sandwiches
