The best time to visit seems to between Feb. and may, according to a local. The Pelicans come earlier in the winter to breed, and when the chicks take to the air, they return. The piece de resistance of the place (from what's told), is the painted stork, which stands as tall as man.

Note: Knowing the local language helps, the local can then guide you around and explain the intricacies of the bird visitors. Avoid the weekends, cos' that's when the rather noisy city-bred riffraff tend to make it less than amiable for bird watching.
