JULY 21ST 2012 - RIO GENAL

Well, I call this blog entry the Rio Genal but in fact it is no longer a river - it is merely a series of stagnant pools full of dead and dying fish. The local herons and kingfishers think its Christmas!!

I arrived at 8:30am and sat quietly for a couple of hours and watched the wildlife go by. It was very hot today and no breeze, I had to sit in the shade or fry!

15 different species of birds came down to drink whilst i was there and a Booted Eagle and a Raven flew over. I had great views of Kingfisher and Cetti's Warbler neither of which would stand still long enough for a digi-scoped picture. Likewise, Blackcap and Corn Buntings.

 Just before I left, four White Storks landed just behind me but as I turned to photograph them they immediately took off. After a couple of circuits above me the storks left the area, shame.
