During our month in Gran Alacant we stayed near the Clot giving us plenty of opportunities to visit this great little site. There were numerous birds we saw on a regular basis, but on each visit we seemed to add at least one additional species. On our first visit on 15th January we were lucky enough to see a Water Rail, but sadly we did not see it again .
On 28th January it was a treat to see a male Pintail in the main pool, a bird which was still there on the 8th February.
