Three Whimbrels in Zolina


Good morning!

Last wednesday (26/04/17)  the reservoir was quite interesting with a few wader species lingering around. The star of the visit was a group of three wimbrels in the east coast.
Is the first time since 1989 that this quantity is shown here.
The record in the reservoir is five individuals back in 1977!!
Sadly the numbers are decreasing and in the last decade in some years there has been only one visit with a single bird....
