Concon: Some great birding

The past three days in Concon have mostly been about Leigh recovering from her cold. We also did a bit of work and rested a lot.

The best and most pleasantly surprising part of Concon has been the birding. We've picked up a whole wack of new species that we weren't expecting. The part of Concan where are staying is a few kilometers away from the high rise holiday accommodation and the birding long the coast has been great. In terms of the number of new birds we have seen, Concon tops the list. Here a few shots of some of the birds we have enjoyed.
