Fuente de Piedra
June 09 2011
Dear reader!
We spent a wonderful day at Fuente de Piedra, where …
… the breeding colony of Greater Flamingos is estimated by approximately 15.000 pairs:
But also some Slender-billed Gulls were successfully breeding at Fuente de Piedra!
Mum Common Moorhen and …
… her chick:
A young Little Grebe …
… taking enthralled a refreshing bath. Just gorgeous to see young birds everywhere!
Little time for feeding is left for the adult Pied Avocets, because …
… again and again they have to fly defense attacks, to …
… keep the nursery of their chicks in safety:
Also the Stilts are on alert and have quarrels with each other:
"Now please have a look! Isn't my daughter …
… the spitting image of myself?"
"Delicious!"
Three female Marsh Harriers and one male …
… enthrall us with their flying skills:
But the main protagonists are at the moment in Fuente de Piedra …
… of course the huge flocks of Greater Flamingos. How nice to experience all these! 
Best regards
