The high temperatures that have affected Europe during 2016 delayed the migration of birds from northern Europe to the warm places of southern Europe and neighbouring Africa. The rains of autumn brought water to the lagoons and groves of La Mancha, where it is possible to see numerous species of birds. Some of these natural spaces are well-known lagoons while others are less frequented places. In this post, we explain how to enjoy the so-called wetland area ‘La Mancha Húmeda’ accompanied by good binoculars and the usual clothing for field trips.
