NeeExtra info
Drive on all the tracks slowly using the car as a hide, morning and late afternoon are the best times as the climate gets hot and birds can be difficult to see and photograph in the heat haze. The area also has its own micro climate due to the mountain, it can be raining here and clear down the road. Visit more than once if you can, you will something differnt each time. You can also head NW to the Playa de Esquinzo, where the viewpoint is excellent for Roodsnavelkeerkringvogel in early summer.
