Final Day: Good Birding

Being old and faculty diminished is probably why I failed to inspect the lake and marshland at the back of LIDL some 650 metres away from my hotel, until my last morning here 😔.

It was dirty filthy rotten with Kentish, Little Ringed & Ringed Plover 😁. A pr Green Sandpiper were here but more skittish than the former. 3 Little Egret were doing the rounds and a Glossy Ibis flew around before settling behind tall vegetation.

1 Shelduck ditto Coot with a broken left wing. 4 Moorhen, 3/4 Spotted Flycatcher similar Sardinians & Cettis Warbler.
Another phenomenal thunderstorm early this am may have been the cause of a large raptor flying over. It remains unidentified and in the gloom bins wouldn’t have helped.
