La Cañada de los Pájaros
April 5 - 8 2010
These spring meadows! Just beautiful!
And this is the stork who had his nest right in front of our sleeping room and whose cheerful clattering escorted us all the time. But the photo was made through a mosquito-net. Well those are necessary at the Marismas! More about that later in the report about Dehesa de Abajo

At this time also the night herons are coming out of their hideouts to go for prey. Here a young night heron and …

The crown crane in the meantime has exercised his wings enough and has landed again in Cañada de los Pájaros this outstanding bird paradise:
Such a terrific time we spent there! And certainly it was not our last visit!
Best regards and until the next report from the pine forests of Aznalcázar!
