25th September 2023 – Isla Cristina

From the balcony of our hotel room I could see that there were spoonbills on the lagoon. So, with a little gentle persuasion, we reorganised the pattern of our morning walk and took in the lagoon. It was too hot out there to stay too long, but it was long enough to see some lovely birds.

Such a lovely morning beside the lagoon

There were lots of ruddy turnstone, common ringed plover and sanderlings but my hand wasn’t steady enough in the heat.

Slender-billed gulls and terns

Common redshank

Sandwich tern

A coffee looking across the port and then back to the pool!
