FEBRUARY 23rd
Having spent the last couple of days looking like a giant
Hobbit and having to keep my feet up! (I am still mystified as to whether I was
bitten or it was to do with climate change!) I was back on the birding trail
having noted a Great White Egret on the lagoon and a Narrow-billed Woodcreeper
from my chair this morning.
It was time to visit White-winged Nightjar land (WWN) with
Jo and the crew. Before we checked in with the land owner Sean banged on the
roof indicating a stop point! A Red-legged Seriema was seen on the edge of the Eucalyptus
plantation.
As the truck ran parallel with the WWN area a Rhea was
spotted. In fact there were six seen in total in this area. Two difficult
species logged in the space of an hour. Fantastic!

A White-rumped Mojita was first on the list once on the
area. I walked part of the WWN area which had two fire-breaks splitting the
area into three. White-rumped Swallow and Brown-chested Martin were both seen
hawking insects.

This is an area I will be spending a fair bit of time at as
the Nightjar project takes shape. It has not changed too much since my visit
last year.
