Jayne and I travelled down to the Car hire company near Malaga Airport where Jayne dropped me off to start a week long tour and continued on to do some shopping. I collected a minibus and then met Mike Langley at a nearby hotel before having a look at a reed filled channel right on the Northern end of the Runway just out side the Airport fence. We parked and walked along the Southern bank and started the trip list off with Zitting Cisticola (Buitrón / Cisticola juncidis), Nightingale (Ruisenor Común / Luscinia megarhynchos), Cetti's (Ruisenor Bastardo / Cettia cetti), Reed (Carricero Común / Acrocephalus scrpaceus) and Sardinian Warblers (Curruca Cabecinegra / Sylvia melanocephala), Common Stonechat (Tarabilla Común / Saxicola torquata), Goldfinch (Jilguero / Carduelis carduelis), Greenfinch (Verderón Común / Carduelis chloris), Linnet (Pardillo Común / Carduelis cannabina), Serin (Verdecillo / Serinus serinus), Purple Swamp-hen (Calamon Común / Porphyrio porphyrio), Mallard (Anade Azulón / Anas platyrhynchos), Monk Parakeet (Cotorra Argentina / Myiopsitta monachus), Little (Garceta Común / Egreeta garzetta) and Cattle Egrets (Garcilla Bueyera / Bubulcus ibis), Night Heron (Marinete Común / Nycticorax nycticorax), Feral Pigeon (Paloma Bravía / Columba livia), Collared (Tórtola Turca / Streptopelia decaocto) and Turtle Doves (Tórtola Europea / Streptopelia turtur), House Martin (Avión Común / Delichon urbica) and Common Swifts (Vencejo Común / Apus apus).

We made our way across to the well known town of El Rocio on the edge of the Charco de la Boca, a large expance of water to the south of the town and parked there. We walked along the promanard type walkway which follows the dge of the water a soon started to find some interesting species including Greater Flamingo's (Flamenco Común / Phoenicopterus roseus), lots of Glossy Ibis (Morito Común / Plegadis falcinellus) which were flying in continually going to the large colony at the far end of the lake, Spoonbill (Espátula Común / Platalea leucorodia), Greylag Geese (Ansar Común / Anser anser), Eurasian Coot (Focha Común / Fulica atra), Mallard (Anade Azulón / Anas platyrhynchos), Red-crested (Pato Colorado / Netta rufina) and Common Pochards (Porrón Común / Aythya ferina), Gadwall (Anade Friso / Anas strepera), a very smart male Northern Pintail (Ánade Rabudo / Anas acuta) which Linda picked out, Little (Garceta Común / Egreeta garzetta), Cattle (Garcilla Bueyera / Bubulcus ibis) and Great White Egrets (Garceta Grande / Egretta alba) all of which were seen in flight over the water, Black-winged Stilts (Ciguenela Común / Himantopus himantopus) and a flock of Black-tailed Godwits (Aguja Colinegra / Limosa limosa) which eventually dropped in to the grassy islands in the centre of the marsh.

By now it was getting on so we dropped down to the coast and had some lunch in a bar on the eastern side of Matalascañas before having a look at a rather packed beach where Pam, John and Judy went for a paddle while the rest of us scanned the sea picking up 3+ Sandwich (Charrán Patinegro / Sterna sandvicensis) and 5 less expected Caspian Terns (Pagaza Piquiroja / Sterna caspia) and lots of Pallid Swift (Vencejo Pálido /Apus pallidus) which screemed continually over head.
We retraced our steps back up towards El Rocio and the checked the board walks out at Acebrón Centre but there were quite a few people about so we went down to the area of open water nearby and scanned the reedbeds from the track. Straight away we had nice views of a couple of Squacco Herons, a Purple Heron (Garza Imperial / Ardea purpurea) in flight, Cetti's Warbler (Ruisenor Bastardo / Cettia cetti), Purple Swamp-hen (Calamon Común / Porphyrio porphyrio) and best of all a singing Savi's Warbler (Buscarla Unicolor / Locustella luscinoides) which showed well in a clump of Rushes reasonably close. In the same area we had Yellow Lupin (Lupinus luteus), Royal Fern (Osmunda regalis), Lesser-snapdragon (Misopates orontium) a Greenshank (Archibebe Claro / Tringa nebularia), Common Chaffinch (Pinzón Vulgar / Fringilla coelebs), Black-necked Grebe (Zampullín Cullinegro / Podiceps nigricollis), Long-tailed (Mito / Aegithalos caudatus) and Coal Tits (Carbonero Garrapinos / Parus ater), Large Psammodromus (Lagartija colilarga / Psammodromus algirus), Perez's Frog (Rana Común / Pelophylax perezi) and Carpentor Bee (Xylocopa violacea).
Once we returned to the car we drove just down the road and did the loop woodland walk around the Palicio de Acebron where we saw or heard Wren (Chochin / Troglodytes troglodytes), Spotted Flycatcher (Papamoscas Gris / Muscicapa striata), Green Woodpecker (Pito Real / Picus viridis), 3 Common Waxbill (Estrilda Ondulada / Estrilda astrild) and then just as we were about to reach Mike Harvey came up and said that he had just had the main target bird for this site a Lesser-spotted Woodpecker (Dryobates minor) but by the time we returned to where he had seen it it had gone. We did find a couple of Iberian Blue-tails (Ischnura graellsii) before we returned to the car and then made our way back to the hotel. We had our evening meal and retiered after a tyering day.

We took a short drive out on the track near by and picked up several very smart Whinchats (Tarabilla Nortena / Saxicola rubetra), 2 Lesser Short-toed Larks (Terrera Marismena / Calandrella rufescens) which took quite a while to find in the salt marsh type vegitation, Yellow Wagtails, Hoopoe and out on an area of water a hundred plus Ringed Plover (Chorlitejo Grande / Charadrius hiaticula).
