We are heading towards what will probably the hottest period of the summer in the south of Spain. Not ideal circumstances to go birding, but I decided to go and do some short location scouting in an already familiar spot: the Santa Teresa Park in Jerez de la Frontera. As soon as the temperature allows it I would like to go back to this place to install a small bird bath to photograph the birds from a small portable hide.
I didn't spend too long here today, but long enough to find a handful of suitable locations for future shoots. I also managed to spot more than fifteen different bird species.

| Female House Sparrow on barbed wire |

| Nice perch for a future photo shoot |

| Plenty of these to remember for a shoot next spring |
 |
| Juvenile Blackbird |
 |
| Wood Pigeon |
 |
| Sardinian Warbler |
 |
| Great Tit |
 |
| Greenfinch |
 |
 |
| Cattle Egret |
 |
| Western olivaceous Warbler |
At 11 AM it had already got too hot to stay out any longer so I decided to go back to our facilities. With a few interesting locations written down, it is now a matter of waiting until this heatwave finally comes to an end to go back and test the dripping system.
