DAY TRIP TO ARROCAMPO


On the 9th Jan we spent the morning at Arrocampo reservoir. The water here is 2 or 3 degrees warmer than normal so it attracts species that usually exist only further south. Bitterns also sometimes winter there but we didn’t luck into one. In all we saw about 7 Purple Swamphens, 2 Squacco Herons, Little and Great White Egrets, Marsh Harriers, Shovelers, Teals and 10 Curlews.
