At last the sun came out and stayed out!!! It has been weeks since we last had some good weather, We had a few hours to spare so Dawn and I took a walk along our favourite track at Estacion Cortes next to the Rio Guadiaro. The river was way above its normal levels and all of the shingle bars were submerged so there were no Wagtails or Waders were on show.
Everywhere was lush and green, many wildflowers were in flower and we found a few spikes of Mirror Orchid.
