Saucedilla

Saucedilla is a town that reminded me of Seaton. It's a long way from the coast though, so why? Well, it's right next to a large wetland with five hides! All easily accessible too; drive-in birding of the best kind. All the Iberian Herons were present - Grey, Purple, Night, Squacco and Little Bittern were seen within an hour. Savi's Warblers and Great Reed Warblers sang in full view. But I was surprised to see 2 Ferruginous Ducks present in June. I wonder if they're breeding? That would be good news for the re-introduction programme although I thought that was taking place further North and East! Here's some video of them anyway...
