A QUICK STROLL ROUND ROSARITO

Last Sunday we decided to pay a a quick evening visit to Rosarito after the rain stopped, despite the strong wind that took over.

We've never seen the reservoir so empty, though I managed this nice shot of flying cormorants against the choppy water. Looks like the sea.

Walking back to the car we saw a hundred-strong flock of Spanish Sparrows.

The days are a bit longer now after the clocks have gone forward so we also had time to visit a nearby lake. Along the way we saw this Red-Legged Partridge and Corn Bunting.

Very little at the lake, only the cheerfully twittering swallows.

As for the Nightingales, the first one clocked in here on the 25th. Here's a message written by my dad to Goce birdwatching forum about the event.

But "Plusma" got back yesterday, on the 28th.
