MEXICO 2008: San Blas.

The west coast resort of San Blas is well known to birders and we spent some time around the pools one afternoon.

It was literally littered with waders and ducks with a few Forster's Terns and various herons.

We scanned through the waders including Least, Semi-palmated and Western Sandpipers, loads of Stilt Sands as well as small parties of dowitchers of which Long-billed was ID'd on call.

There were plenty of larger waders too such as American Avocets, Marbled Godwits and Long-billed Curlews whilst plenty of Mangrove Swallows swooped over the lagons.
