Guadalhorce delta, Malaga, Spain

The Guadalhorce delta marsh was one of our favourite sites. It was being set up for birdwatching.
From a blind I could make out the Ibis on the far bank of an island behind some trees. He started to walk. Luckily he passed some open ground for a few seconds.

Charca de Suarez, Motril, Spain

The marsh only opened after 4:30 so the light is low(volunteer workers after work). While looking out of the blind over the marsh, one of us spotted the Wagtail under our noses. I could hardly get the camera down low enough.

Photos of Black Terns on previous years were always from too far or unsharp because of flight.
This is the year of success.
