A short drive today, and a leisurely one. Spent first 90 mins on urban highways and a four lane motorway \u2013 a long way from the dirt roads to come further north. Not so good for driving, either, as more attention is needed on the traffic and even if I did see anything interesting stopping is not really a possibility and turning round on a dual carriageway is impossible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lunch as always in a place where I can keep an eye on the car. Not quite sure what it was, but very tasty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"
Lunch in La Para<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Pretty uneventful day, really. Bird of the day the Muscovy Duck \u2013 a large number of which were in a stretch of fresh water in La Para, where I had lunch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Finally arrived in Miramar, on the shore of Mar Chiquita, where I was greeted by this rather kitsch statue on the central roundabout.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"
Flamingo City?<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I decided I could do better than that, and went for a walk along the shore to find my own flamingoes. There are three different flamingo species here and I’m not yet sure which these are.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"
Just a few of the very many flamingoes on the shores of the lake.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Short entry today as I’m staying the night with my friend Walter, and finishing the diary early so as not to be unsociable when I arrive. Tomorrow he’s taking me birding in the Ansenuza National Park. Watch this space.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
