JULY 31ST - RIO GUADARIO PICNIC

Another lovely Sunday afternoon at the river, Dawn and I spent all afternoon sitting under our favourite tree and watching the world go by.

A WHITE RUMPED SWIFT put in an appearance and also looked as though it visited a Red-rumped Swallows nest close by - I will have to investigate this further. The swift was seen on several occasions throughout the sfternoon.

Other birds on show included Booted and Short-toed Eagles, Kingfisher, Grey and White Wagtails, Bonelli's Warbler, Little Ringed Plover and 3 Common Sandpipers.
