AUGUST 12TH - RIO GUADIARO - picnic

WHITE RUMPED SWIFTS - again at the Rio Guadiaro

Another very hot day found us down at the river for an afternoon picnic.

We sat under our favourite tree and watched many birds moving around the water:

A high number of species were coming to drink at the water's edge or skimming a drink off the top:

1. Chaffinch
2. Greenfinch
3. Goldfinch
4. House Sparrow
5. Rock Sparrow
6. Blackbird
7. Blue Tit
8. Great Tit
9. Serin
10. Cetti's Warbler
11. Sardinian Warbler
12. Blackcap
13. Grey Wagtail
14. White Wagtail
15. Cirl Bunting
16. Stonechat

all of the above species came to one small section of the river to drink. In addition there were House Martins, Barn Swallows, Red-rumped Swallows, Pallid Swifts and two WHITE RUMPED SWIFTS diving down to skim the water for a drink.

Other species seen were: Corn Bunting, Woodchat Shrike, Booted Eagle, Spotless Starling, Griffon vuilture and a White Stork flew up and down the river acouple of times, as did a Kingfisher a Little Ringed Plover and a flock of Wood Pigeons.

A lovely afternoon in 40C temeprature with a cooling breeze.
