Old Favourites

Salinas de San Pedro - 6.11.19

The more I go to the local salinas out of migration season the harder I find getting images of a type that I've not posted previous, mainly down to the fact that the waders aren't just around. It's a place where a few of the commoner species hang out over wintering from the colder north such as Dunlin, Greenshank and Sanderling but theses are can hard to pin down with the large number of water pans so sometimes you have to go back to the old favourites.

Avocet and Black-winged Stilts are common on the salinas and if your patiant and remain still it can prove quite fruitful. These images were taken whilst in the same location as the previous post of the Greater Flamingos, the water colour is a reflection of a mud bank that only appears early mornings with sun angle over your shoulder.
