We again returned to the cars and went back up to Mirador de Tapla
as I had spotted a couple of spikes of Burnt Orchid (Neotinea Ustulata) as we had driven down, Ricky and I walked down and took some photo's of this usually much commoner species and also added
Red Kite (Milano Real / Milvus milvus),
Alpine Chough (Chova Piquigualda /
Pyrrhocorax graculus) and Linnet (Pardillo Común / Carduelis cannabina) before starting the drive back.![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjuIEU7siPbu4dvAZru-znnW_SdSXxeDiya_JbRNGT5sJwFYBmo0LA5I8wkfJqF8vaTCGnw05tdD1EVdZC52nqDGU5McJEDrBomracWdIMUjLXTm6ifr3U9XUiuUVrKbzMY4sjFpA0q0xDUD2o9uKTP00ZulJfqADedhEUMs93NlhIWThSNDGXBA2WM/s16000/30th-May-23-23.jpg) |

Dipper (Mirlo Acuático / Cinclus cinclus). |
We continued on down the hill and as we reached the first town Ochagavía, we made a stop for a coffee, whilst we were in there the rain arrived but even though it was throwing it down we still checked the river as we left and Ricky picked up a nice adult Dipper (Mirlo Acuático / Cinclus cinclus) which was showing very well so we returned to the cars and got our camera`s.
