On Saturday 21st, we managed to re-start such project by visiting the area with a threeman team led by Juan Pablo. As part of the monitoring scheme, we used a 4x4 vehicle to get close to water bodies seeking for ducks.
Albeit austral autumn is already in place, mild temperatures were encountered throughout the outing.
A total of 14 lagoons was visited that day; all of them holding at least one or two species of duck of interest. These included chiefly the Yellow-billed Pintail and the Speckled Teal, followed by the Rossy-billed Pochard.
More ducks are to be counted on the next outing that is within a month of this very first outing of 2022.
