Numbers are up again.
Just a brief visit this morning as I am running a bit later than usual. The number of Dunlin (Correlimos Común / Calidris alpina) had incressed to around 70 birds, Little Stints (Correlimos Menudo / Calidris minuta) were steady in the mid twenties, Kentish (Chorlitejo Patinegro / Charadrius alexandrinus) and Ringed Plovers (Chorlitejo Grande / Charadrius hiaticula) had doubled and 3 Avocets (Avoceta Común/ Recurvirostra avosetta) had reappeared. A couple of winter plumaged male Reed Buntings (Escribano Palustre / Emberiza schoeniclus)were new for my site list.
