It was a quite windy, but mild and very sunny day. Time to visit the Medina Lagoon on the outskirts of Jerez de La Frontera. It was great to see that the Flamingos are back! I counted a few hundred of them.

Having visited this place many times, I can now more or less predict where to find which species. The usual species were present today and I was positively surprised to encounter a pair of Eurasian Siskins.

I had never seen so many Shovelers together. There were at least a hundred, but unfortunately they were quite far away in the water.
