Marchamalo Salinas,
Playa Paraiso
Weather: Sky 6/8 cloud, wind SW F2-3, temp. 22ºC. 16:20 – 17:10.
As I hadn’t
been down to the Salinas
over the last few days, I thought they might be worth a visit, but still no
real change. What was different was a
group of 12 Little Stint, many now in breeding plumage, a couple of Spotted
Redshank coming into breeding plumage, and a distant Wood Sandpiper which got
me going at first (as any ‘yellow’ legged wader does!).
Also seen,
several Willow Warblers, including one with a very bright supercilium.
I also had
a look in some areas I know for small crakes as there appears to be a few
around in the south of Spain,
but no luck with these.
