On our way into the reserve we checked the beach and then the shingle seeing Sandwich Tern (Charrán Patinegro / Sterna sandvicensis) and Little Ringed Plover (Chorlitejo Chico / Charadrius dubius) and at the first hide in the reserve I bagged a nice male Little Bittern.

13.00 soon came around and we left the reserve, uan headed to the beach to return to Beatriz and Chika and I headed for Loa where I was meeting good friend Andy Mountford who was staying for a couple of days.
We had some lunch in Loja and then went back to the house t drop Andy's kit off before heading down to 3 Calles for a beer or five (0/0 for me).
