The morning of 29th December was cold but warming up PM to shorts weather. We went to El Hondo to check out Snipe - Agachadiza Comun and to have a good look for a Jack Snipe - Agachadiza Chica. We checked out the photographs taken on Nikon P900 and now we would certainly be able to ID the smaller one. We didn’t get one but we have seen them before.
Water levels were high with little mud. A Robin - Petirrojo perched but not long enough for the photographer but it continued singing. White Wags - Lavandera Blanca are always around and one perched in the right place. Purple Gallinules/Swaphens - were plentiful
A Red-knobed Coot - Focha Moruna swam close and we have the photograph. One distant Common Sandpiper - Andarrios Chico
A White Wagtail posed for us on the boardwalk.
We took the long way home and were delighted to see five Booted Eagles - Aguila Calzada circling.
This was our last trip out for 2022 and it has been a good one. I am still looking for those wintering Trumpeter Finches - Camachuela Trompetero though. Any sighting would be good.
