At the latter site a <strong>Little Bittern<\/strong> showed up briefly and a Black Tern flew past. At El Garxal there were lots of waders including some <strong>Marsh Sandpipers<\/strong> and among the Black-headed Gulls a single Mediterranean.<\/p>\n<p>In Els Ports at the 27th we had good views of <strong>Griffon Vulure<\/strong> and <strong>Short-toed Eagle<\/strong> but didn&#8217;t see Bonelli&#8217;s.
