San Pedro de la Pinatar

San Pedro de la Pinatar

It has warmed up, the wind has dropped and the afternoons are hot. The area to the beach and the beach yielded only a calling Crested Lark and numerous Yellow-legged Gulls. On the lagoon there were several pairs of Shelduck, but nothing else. There was not one bird on the water and the margins had a ring of something yellow. It was disappointing and worrying.

I moved on and apart from the ubiquitous Black-winged Stilts I saw one Ruff and 12 Black-tailed Godwits. Again there were more pairs of Shelduck, a copious number of Black-headed Gulls and eighteen Black-necked Grebe. Hardly worth the effort, but you never know.... Now Estepas de Yecla in the morning.
