Today we ventured out to find some birds. We headed across the Salinas then to El Pinet followed by a drive around the local countryside.
Highlights for us were Little Tern on the Salinas, Curlew Sandpiper and Kentish Plover at El Pinet, Bee eaters and a Great Spotted Cuckoo at the Bee eater site, a Purple Heron and a Red rumped Swallow along the Palm Farm Track and two Glossy Ibis flying by the Vistabella Road.
