Dear reader!

Across the Lebrija we reached on the next day again the banks of the Guadalquivirs, where …

… from everywhere the happy cluttering of the storks is to be heard now:

"Nobody can complain about anything! My house is completely equipped with solar panels!"

"Modern nonsense! We rather are breeding traditionally in trees!"

At the Gualdaquivir your heart really is opening:

Hush … the Night Herons are sleeping!

The young Gossy Ibis in comparison was wide awake and we were very happy to be able to admire the wonderful colors of its plumage:

Also in this area some Black Storks were around:

"How could I get the prey of these Ravens?" Mrs. Marsh Harrier is thinking:

A first try was not successful. But in teamwork ….

… the Ravens chase the Marsh Harriers away, which ….

… first has to recover from the shock:

Finally the Ravens were satisfied and that was the chance for Mrs. Marsh Harrier:

Beside of Cattle Egrets, NIght Herons and Herons we also saw Great White Egrets. Here in place of all a Squacco Heron:

I am always again enthralled that these areas are still there, used by humans, but still a resting area and a habitat for an unbelievable high number of animals.

Best regards

Birgit
