Hey apologies for not updating the blog recently, I've not been to well, and not bothered or inspired do anything.
But happily to report things are now fine. On a recent visit to Alacant around the harbour there we're at least 3 Razor Bills and surprise of the day a Caspian Tern bombing around, the fantastic around the World Yacht race exhibition which was totally amazing, and if it happens again I would recommend everyone to go. It's my second visit and it get better every year.
Today
And so today Trish and I went for a walk, and yet another 10.000+ steps and ended up at the Clot de Galvany

| Teal. |
I said to Trish that what I really miss the most ( Isles of Scilly) is finding or seeing a good bird, it's so difficult to find something out of the ordinary here in Costa Blanca and many hour have been spent searching?
Back to the Clot
I said Trish one last scan and we're off, after scanning the Ducks and Gulls back forth again and one duck popped out of the Reeds, a magnificent Summer plumage Garganey with that conspicuous eye strip

| Garganey |
Not a mega but it's only the 17th of January so things are moving and considering the fare weather over all of Southern Europe, I'm not to surprised birds are on the move.
Directions
From the new hide over looking the big water if you used the clock system I would say 10 or 11 o clock looking to the left most of the ducks are taken shelter from the wind on the left?
Good luck have fun
get out make some news
Cheers Bryan
