I continued to walk arond to the Seawatch point, on the way I stopped at the two hides pickng up White Stork (Ciguena Blanca / Ciconia ciconia), Greater Flamingo (Flamenco Común / Phoenicopterus roseus), Crested Lark (Cogujada / Galerida cristata), Pied Flycatcher (Papamoscas Cerrojillo / Ficedula hypoleuca), Great Tit (Carbonera Común / Parus major) and Blackbird (Mirlo Común / Turdus merula).
I reached the seawatch point but only managed to add Northern Gannet (Alcatraz Atlántico / Morus bassanus), I walked along the beach and then back into the reserve and to the Hide at Laguna Grande but added nothing new so I went and did some shopping and then had a sleep in the car before making my way to the airport just after Midnight to meet Sharon, John and Caitlin and then we headed home.
