These weekdays have been really interesting. Despite we saw few individuals, as it was expected this season, we had the chance to enjoy birdwatching many species.
On Monday two Purple Herons came up in Plaiundi and I think they stayed near here, at least, until Thursday because I saw them sporadically until then.

Tuesday was wonderful! I watched a Squacco Heron for the first time in my life. I posted it in my previous post. As I don't want people to get bored, I'll go on with the next birding.
On Tuesday, as well as the Squacco Heron, we saw a solitary Bar-tailed Godwit that still stayed in here. Yesterday, this lonely Godwit got a traveling companion to continue its travel to the north.

Thursday was really entertaining. To start with, an Osprey came to Plaiaundi to fish, so it perched on a branch to lie in wait for a prey. Sometimes it changed its position to a post above the water. It still continues beeing here, so you'll maybe be able to see it.

To finish with the telling of these weekdays, here you have a group of waders that were sunbathing yesterday on a wreckage boat in Itzaberri marsh.
