Knowing about the presence of an Allen´s Gallinule at Rosa de Catalina García, I decided to make a new one day trip to Fuerteventura, looking for this african rarity.
Luckily I could see the bird and obtain a good number of photographs of it. Besides I could see that the Blue-winged Teal detected in Rosa de Catalina García in November was still there.
But one of the best surprises of this trip was a Great Bittern at the same place, where a Spotted Crake was present too.
By last, 2 Ring-necked Ducks were detected at Los Molinos reservoir.
