After yesterday’s continuous rain I took advantage of the dry, and at present sunny, weather to pay a quick visit to the fresh water pond immediately before the entry to the salinas visited last evening. Not a lot of birds to be seen but lovely to have a handful of Whiskered Terns along with Little Grebes, Pochards, Mallards, Coots and, above the water, a number of Pallid Swifts and House Martins. On the far side a few distant Flamingos.
