Citrine Wagtail, 2CY male, Polichnitos Saltpans © Steve DudleyI spoke too soon! A cooler day with overcast skies, scattered showers and fresh south-easterly breeze (gale force on Ipsilou!).
If we thought there were more birds around yesterday, there sure wasn't today. A few new bits and bobs, but nothing too startling.
Late news - yesterday a female Ferruginous Duck on pool at the far eastern end of Alykes Wetlands (also Gargeney).
