Saludos camperos!!
I had yestarday (021218) a nice moment watching a sedimented group of common snipes (125 aprox) with as many lapwings in Figarol ricefields. With this mid tempered autumn, many waders are still lingering around. Yesterday temperatures reached 12 degrees! I suposse that numbers will drop down when freeze comes at nights.
Other waders that I could observe:
Golden plover (only one).
Green sandpiper (a dozen)
Ruffs (eight)
Dunlin (one).
Sadly birds were very nervous and the different groups flied away when we tried to observe them from a good distance with our telescopes. I went with my friend David.
