Bear in mind that this is the lake where the Flamingoes come to breed, so Winter sightings will be of fewer birds, but some are usually present I think, I haven't been to Spain this year (yet!) but I think the drought will have had a dramatic effect on the water levels at Fuente de Piedra., as with other sites. The whole lake is visible from the visitor centre, which should probably be the first port of call, and you may get information about the birds and where to go. I usually then drive anti-clockwise around the lake stopping whenever it is possible. Not far West of F d P is the laguna Dulce at Campillos. When it's full of water it can be spectacular, but if (as I suspect) it is dry, good luck. I once had a flock of over a hundred Little Bustards fly round and drop in only to completely disappear into the dry vegetation!
