Paraje Natural, Lagunas de Lo Monte and Salinas at San Pedro.

Having discovered the location of the first mentioned site which is new; we went there. It was closed, but it is apparently open on Friday afternoons and at week-ends. The hides and screens look very new and we intend to visit it on Friday. More information and comments should follow thereafter.

At San Pedro we have had some super sightings. A favourite corner is by the small car park just off the roundabout. Here close by we saw a single Curlew Sandpiper (Correlimos Zarapitin) feeding in the shallows with a Little Stint (Correlimos Menudo) nearby and a male Ruff( Combatiente). Three good birds to be able to view close at hand. Kentish Plovers (Choritejo Patinegro) and Dunlin (Correlimos Común) were also near-by. There was no Kingfisher (Martin Pescador) to be seen, but the usual Flamingos (Flamenco Común)' Avocet (Avoceta Común), Black-winged Stilts (Cigüeñuela Común) Mallards (Ánade Azulón) and Moorhens (Gallineta Común). Shellducks (Tarro Blanco). Since we had not made an early start it was 35 degrees by the time we left. Too hot.
We did visit the car park near to the beach which had been closed, but was now open and full of cars. Soon we will have it almost to ourselves again and be able to view the lagoons peacefully.
