Message: <blockquote data-quote="Luis Alberto BIRDAYTRIP" data-source="post: 3234402" data-attributes="member: 122738">Early morning birding trip to the mouth of the Guadalhorce (2015.06.16)After our visit to Río Grande last week, Little Bitterns and White-headed Ducks were the targets today for Jim.I took the wrong way to the airport this morning and, as Jim mention the airport as a “hot spot” in ebirds, we went on to the north of the runways to try Red-necked Nightjars. And we luckily found a couple just sitting on the track with the first lights of the day and could watch one of them with the scope for a while.We could also spot Red-rumped Swallow, Turtle Dove, Black-eared Wheatear, Red-legged Partridge, Sardinian Warbler, Zitting Cisticola and all the typical finches of the valley: Goldfinch, Greenfinch, Serin and Linnet.We moved on to the Guadalhorce where we spotted Bee-eater, Spoonbill, Black-winges Stilt, Flamingo, Slender-billed Gull, Avocet and Audouin Gull.We found both the Little Bittern and the White-headed Duck at the Laguna de la Casilla and again at the Laguna Escondida.</blockquote>
