I’ve long known I’m not right in t’head and today proved it. Although I prepared better for this trek around the deteriorating Albufera, it was still a tough ask in the surface of the sun temperatures. Why deteriorating? Well it’s like the wardens here have been trained by those tossers at the Royal Society For The Prevention of Birdwatching.
Example? 30 percent less access than was available 6 years ago. Hedges and Reeds so tall you can’t see a thing hello Swillington! Something nature has inflicted on the area: lack of rainwater. In parts the water is dirty brown or not there at all.
Glossy Ibis are through the roof here. Shrinking species are Red Knobbed Coot and Purple Swamphen. 1 & 2 respectively. 1 Marsh Harrier dittto Night Heron and noisy Great Reed Warbler. Sardinian Warblers, Zitbags everywhere. Auduions Gull, YLG. Spectacled Warblers and a probable wooden reeling call of Savis.
Sod it forget the remainder it’s Beer O’Clock ðŸ¤
