Black-winged Stilt (Ciguenuela Común / Himantopus himantopus). |
We started the day by visiting the Car boot sale at Moraleda de Zafayona, not something we do very often but we needed a couple of things. On the way back we stopped at the man made lake on the side of the A92 called Balsa de Regidor. The main reason was to see if there were any late flying Dragonflies but the simple anwser to that was NO. On the lake there were several

Common Teal (Cerceta Común / Anas crecca),
Little Grebe (Zampullín Común / Tachybaptus ruficollis),

Green Sandpiper (Andarrios Grande / Tringa ochropus) X4 and
Common Sandpiper (Andarrios Chico / Actitis hypoleucos) X10+ were all seen perched on the many large logs around the margins.
