Hi there:

Here some notes that I had in the wardrobe about those magnificient birds;



 Dunlin (Calidris alpina).

This time I used the camera instead of the telescope to capture those images.


Common snipes feeding. 



A nice group of more tha fifty birds has been lingering around the past days.

The first record for the reservoir !!

In this human made reservoir is essential to maintain low levels of water in order to create safe islands and muddy shores for the waders that stop here on migration.


The muddy areas that appear with low water, make a very interesting place for shorebirds.

 Otherwise no birds will stop in this protected area.


Variety of shorebirds.
