Three Dunlins

Three Dunlins

Nice groups coming.....

This week it's has been quite messy with the weather around here, with continuous showers and  very cloudy grey skies, forming a formidable barrier in the nearby Pyrenees mountain range that doesn't permit the migratory birds continue with their journey to the north of Europe. 

This is one of the main reassons to preserve those valuable biotopes!!

In this situation, numerous groups of BT Godwits gathered in Zolina's reservoir, counting more than a hundred (120) (the same two days in Loza's reservoir located 10 km away similar numbers were registered).

In my local patch, a few common redshanks (5),with a dozen dunlins and a solitary ringed plover were lingering between their "long legged" relatives in the northern shore crope fields.
