Once again we return to this wonderful area for bird watching,it is a
3hr drive but well worth the effort.
Our first stop is for coffee and a toasted roll also a good moment to stretch our legs.
From here its a 10 mins drive to La Dehesa and then on to Centro Valverde.
Here are some photos and a list of birds seen .

The terns are always about but don't stay close for very long so one
has to react fast or your chance of any shots will be missed.
