Nice stop-off yesterday at Playa Bonita with plenty of seabirds and waders present at low tide. The highlight was a rare wintering Merlin chasing shorebirds across the bay. Amongst the herons were numerous wading birds including Black-bellied Plover, Spotted Sandpiper, American Oystercatcher, Semipalmated Plover, Willet, Ruddy Turnstone and Whimbrel.
