THE FIELDS AROUND EL HONDO, ALICANTE, SPAIN

We didn’t expect a mega morning and what we got  had to be enough. We always look for flooded fields and between the roundabout and Palm Farm there it was in the process of being flooded. So get out there and take a look.


It appears that the message had not got around with a number of Glossy Ibis - Morito Comun, some Cattle Egrets - Garcilla Bueyera and, of course White Wags - Lavandera Blanca and disappointingly no waders.

Then two Cranes - Grulla Comuntook off and flew towards Dolores.


A quick look at Santa Aguada where there was water in the lagoon and on the scrapes. Sadly no margins and no waders. The good news is that the wooden building is going to be put to good use. There will be a FB page for it and events are planned. I will stay in contact.


Two light morph Booted Eagles - Aguila Calzada and a couple of Buzzards - Busardo Ratonero were the only raptors. In fact the skies were as quiet as a disused airfield. But it was good to be out there.
