Although it has not rained for many weeks now, there is still plenty of water in the Medina lagoon. The highlight of my routine visit was at the end when I spotted a Woodchat Shrike that had just impaled a grasshopper onto a barbed wire.

I was also fortunate to spot a Garganey, for the first time ever. This bird was migrating north. A total of 37 species today, among which Marsh Harrier, Black-necked Grebe and the first Nightingales of this year.
