Día de las Aves
This
event was organised and run by the Parque staff, actually Jose Manuel,
and took place on Saturday 1 October at the Parque. Approximately 35
people including 10 children attended. Jose gave a presentation on the
theories of the evolution of birds, some anatomy and a bit of physiology
and then lead us on a walk through the Parque giving information about
the various plants and also history of the vines.
First stop was the acequión but apart from a couple of flamingos and a heron there was little to see.
Next
stop was the hide and from here we were able to ascertain that what
looked like a black raft on the lake was actually a flock of some 2-3000
black necked grebes. From the hide we went to the picnic area where
some people made use of the observation tower and others enjoyed a
picnic.
There will be
more events over the coming months to celebrate the Parque's 20th
birthday so worth keeping an eye on their website.
