On Sunday 18th October we decided to revisit two of the areas where we saw a multitude of birds only two days previously. We were lucky to ‘hit-it-just-right’ on that day because by Sunday the fields had no standing water and no birds. However we were lucky as nearby, Yellow Wagtails, were flitting around. The next day they could be further south.
Not a great photo as the sun was in the wrong place as was the twig! A great bird to see.
Santa Águeda still contains water in the main pool, but there was no ‘in-flow’ on Sunday and, fortunately, in a muddy corner feeding busily was one Green Sandpiper that remained there to be photographed.
We will be checking all the areas again and I expect that more water will be on some fields at some time. There are fields where the growth is lush. Here's to another great visit.
