Anyone thinking of visiting Menorca and doesn't fancy hiring a car I would really recommend talking to Javier of Menorca Walking Birds. He knows the island really well, knows where the birds are, but is so atuned to local sites he instinctively finds birds without trying too hard. His website is www.menorcawalkingbirds.com The half day trip I took cost 40euro, well spent.
