S'albufera..... and by the way welcome

Hi, and welcome to my blogg page this is the first of hopefully
manny entries in this blogg. I will focus on phography in which i am an amature.
But i will also have other types of entries along the way. I have spent now a
bit more than two months here in Palma and i will start the thread by posting
some pictures from yesterdays trip to "S'albufera national parc".
It is a great place to see waterbirds and at this time a lot of migrating
birds as well. This was more of a fun trip with a big group so it was only a
limited time for photos. But it was great fun,and we finished of a hot day at the beach with a swim in the ocean and a glass of wine.

For this one i need a bit more time for identification But it ceartanly was a lot of them and most of them were conducting in quite lewd behaviour. This just inn.....Oxcythyrea funesta

                                         Knoppsothøne Fulica cristata Focha Cornuda
                                        This is a rare species and a wierd one at that, but beautiful 
                                          Gråhegre Ardea cinerea Garza real 

                                          Rødhodeand Netta rufina Pato colorado m and f
                                          Sandlo Charadrius hiaticula Chorlitejo grande
                                         Not entierly sure on this one but i think it is a Natrix maura, or the european watersnake 
                                        
                                         Stokkand Anas platyrhynchos Ánade azulón

                                    Stylteløper Himantopus himantopus Cigûeñuela común                                          




                                         Here are several different types. What i know is these. There is another duck there but i fail to see what it is for sure
                                         
                                         Skjestork Platea leucorodia Espátula común
                                         Storskarv Phalacrocorax aristotelis Cormorán moñudo
                                         Sothøne Fulica atra Focha Común
                                         Stylteløper Himantopus himantopus Cigûeñuela común   
                                         Stokkand Anas platyrhynchos Ánade azulón
                                         Skjeand Anas clypeata Pato cucharo

                                       Had lunch at the beach, need i remind you what the date is. Mallorca is nice this time of the year.




So that is it for this time. I will upload some more pictures shortly. Some new others older just to show some people what i look at. As i have said this is my first entry so not all will be perfect. Feel free to come with constructive critisism. with emphasis on constructive.

  3. About the foto with many birds...I think the "mysterious" ducks on the sand bar are northern shovelers (Anas clypeata), patos cuchara in spanish.
    Nice blog Morten!
