WE SAW THE BIG ONE!

 A bright sunny morning, a little wind, but still cool for us. Information shared is always useful and looking at the recent photos of Águila Moteada we came into the Parque Naturel de Hondo via Dolores. Eventually entering Palm Farm Road we put up a Snipe. Once on the straight road Michelle saw this elusive big bird. There was a rectangular area of ‘Petticoat’ Palms and then it flew out and away. Just a quick sighting and no photo. I didn't get enough to see if it was’sat-tagged’. Two Common Buzzards called and then flew from the same area.


We moved on and kept looking and checking for Common Cranes too and hopefully a flooded field. No luck there!


Then by the smelly farm the domestic Guinea Fowl were out on the road. Next time we will get a photo as their plumage and posture deserves it. Opposite, a pylon a Booted Eagle that was not bothered by our presence. All photos from the car of course.
