La vimos dos veces en el mismo lugar, siempre muy arisca, al aproximarnos de lejos volaba a refugiarse en los juncales para esconderse, de todas formas la pudimos disfrutar y apreciar sus características distintivas, como su escudete amarillo, coloración celeste no verdosa, dorso y corona pardos, y más estilizada que la pollona azul, e incluso la oímos vocalizar.
