A Quieter Session In Tavira

I started off at what I refer to as the Ogden end of the wetland and accordingly my excitement levels remained manageable.Even then as I exited to visit LBBG City another site tick came up in the form of a calling Hoopoe 🙂.

The move was beneficial as I reacquainted with the Caspian Tern flying across in front of me. 7 Great Flamingo 🦩 were busy feeding here and attracting the attention of passing tourists.

Usual hordes of waders seen again plus another White Stork in flight.
I may as well mention that despite the abundance of mud and sand banks I haven’t had a Sand Martin yet. 
It’s both boring and surprising to find that the only corvid species present is the Magpie. I would have lost moolah had I said Hooded Crow is a knocking bet.
