Description
This is an easy and pleasant introduction to the birds of the Bahia de Cadiz. For best results try to visit on a rising tide so birds will be pushed towards you although any time should produce good birds. A raised path gives you a circular route where you can expect all of the usual waders - Residents like Црвенонога сабјарка , сабјарка, среден пескар and морски пескар and migrants/winter visitors such as сиво блатарче , Red Knot , бел свиркач , мал свиркач , белокрстен свиркач , обичен свиркач , црноопашна блатарка , Bar-tailed Godwit , шарен српоклун свиркач голем српоклун свиркач , црвенонога тринга , зеленонога тринга, речна тринга , etc.
Whilst in the area it's also worth checking the village of old Sancti Petri which is on a spit at the mouth of the bay not only for more waders but also gulls and terns (often including касписка рибарка ).
