Description
Barbate Estuary (Esteros de la Isleta de San Fransico). Although far smaller and with fewer birds than nearby Cadiz Bay, the better access here and it's proximity to the popular birding locations around Tarifa make it a good option for visiting birders. It is a good site for waders such as Gravelot à collier interrompu, Échasse blanche, Bécasseau variable, Bécasseau cocorli, Bécasseau sanderling and other migrant waders. Glaréole à collier often hawk over the area in spring and summer. Flamant rose are present in good numbers. Careful scanning of the dry islands usually produces a Oedicnème criard or two. Goéland leucophée are common and good numbers of Goéland d'Audouin are usually present plus a few Mouette mélanocéphale. Sterne caspienne is regular and Sterne voyageuse are sometimes seen. During passage the clumps of scrub along the track often hold migrants such as Gobemouche gris , Gobemouche noir , Rougequeue à front blanc and Fauvette passerinette. Check for Pipit rousseline, Bergeronnette printanière and Alouette calandrelle ( Alouette pispolette are also sometimes reported). Check from the beach for Fou de Bassan, Sterne caugek and shearwaters. The main channel of the estuary is also good for terns and gulls

Accès
Parking off the A 2231 Bonanza - Zahara road is straightforward but alternatively take the track to park at the start of the footpath. Alternatively you can drive further along the track for c1 km to check the bushes and scrub. The best option is to take the footpath into the old salinas and then loop round back along the track although you can also take the track running parallel to the main road.
