Birding at the Hotel Ardea Purpurea
May 12 2011
Dear reader!
Approaching the hotel was already promising and we …
… shouldn't get disappointed, because …
… the view from the terraces was directly to the lake and …
… its nice inhabitants. Just gorgeous to spend the hot noon hours comfortably in this wonderful big garden:
The cheeky Azure-winged Magpies came up to some few meters to the terrace:
This garden was really full of surprises! A Hoopoe was caringly feeding its chick while …
… the Canada Goose enjoys the afternoon in comfort:
Again and again also Wild Ducks were landing on the lake:
And these cute chicks take under the strict supervision of their Mum …
… bravely their afternoon nap:
Aren't they cute? 
A hotel just to feel comfortable and completely attuned to birders. 
Those were four wonderful days at Doñana!
Best regards
