The first-ever wintering 1st winter drake Greater scaup of Plaiaundi has moulted almost completely. What a beauty!

This Thursday's rough weather forced some seabirds to refuge in the bays and rivers of the Basque Country. In Hondarribia we had some 13 leach's and 2 european sp, 2 guillemots, at least 7 little gulls and 2 kittiwakes, among tens of mediterranean gulls.

Bonaparte's Gull and Greater Scaup still present in Txingudi...
