TARIFA & COTO DONANA - 7 DAY TOUR - DAY 2 APRIL 16TH

PLAYA DE LOS LANCES- LA JANDA - BENALUP - BARBATE MARSHES

We were blown away today - not by the birds but by the bloody windy!! It was almost gale force at times and it was useless to bird watch under those conditions.

We saw 56 species instead of 80-90 and no migration whatsoever!

At los lances beach we were blown into the hide and managed to see Sanderling, Kentish plover, Dunlin, Common Tern, Sandwhich Tern and Yellow-legged Gull. A single Black kite and a single Marsh Harrier were the only raptors.

At la Janda it was just as bad: Cattle and Little Egrets, White Stork, Pheasants and Partrdiges.

On the tracks around Benalup we saw Hoopoe and at barbate Marshes we added Little Owl, Black-winged Stilts, Wood Sandpiper, Zitting Cisticola and a Shoveler!

If the weather is as bad tomorrow I'm going home!!!!
