Santa Pola Salinas

After returning a client to the airport for an early flight back to the UK, I decided to take the scenic route home via Santa Pola. I stopped at the lay-by on the southbound side for a couple of hours and recorded the following: Great Egret 1, Hen Harrier 1, Marsh Harrier 3, Bluethroat 3, Iberian Grey Shrike 1, Slender Billed & Audouin's Gull, Red-Rumped Swallow 5, as well as many waders including Avocet, Sanderling, Black Tailed & Bar Tailed Godwit, Little Stint, Greenshank, Redshank, Green Sandpiper etc.,
