This reedbed inhabitant was photographed in a very pretty park just at the side of the international airport in Barcelona. Here a lot of even rare species have their homes, not caring at all about the terrible noise from the landing planes that fly just overhead!

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.
