A few waders in Txingudi.

Saludos!

The past 05/12/17, I made a short visit to Txingudi bay, one of my favourite places to observe waders in northern Iberia , quite close to my hometown Pamplona/Iruña.

It offers me the possibility of watching birds in winter because in my local patch during this season there aren't usually any...(true that technically in march thing begein to change).

In this ocassion the idea was also to observe a Spotted redshank that had beeb lingering around for about two weeks but I had no luck and didn't localize it.

Anyway, I was lucky because the tide was low  and I could manage to see a few waders with my bins (I let the telescope on the car, I has no time and almost running the weight is to much to carry).

Geenshank and redshank in the mudy flats of the estuary.

Whimbrel on the move.

Grey plover feeding in those valuable and rich mudflats of the Bidasoa rivermouth.

As usual in december, I could find a few Dunlins around.

Ringed plover is its stalking position with the moving legs tappering on the wet floor.

A few stone curlews patrolling the muds always moving around the stones with their chisel shape beaks.

Have a nice day!!
