This last spring i have been several times to this natural park. Mostly this has been at night time for bugs, but also to see birds.
crested coot, knoppsothøne, Fulica cristata A bird quite distinctive with its two red protrutions in the top of the head
Triel, Eurasian Stone-curlew, Burhinus oedicnemus This is a somewhat large nocturnal bird with large eyes and a loud screaching sound. Photo was taken at dusk on the last rays of the sun for that day.
Gråfluesnapper, Spotted flycatcher, Muscicapa striata
rødhodevarsler, woodchat Shrike,cfemale This is a female because of its small white patch right above the beak. Cool little bird that eats everything from lizzards to larger insects and even other birds.
These three great photos were taken by Cecilia and are posted here with her permission.
On the top photo we see the grey heron Ardea cinerea who just caught a huge fish. Were were watching this for a long time, while the heron was trying to figure out how to devour its slightly oversized meal.
The next photo is of a Eurasian coot Fulica atra searching for a meal below.
The last photo is of the Sardinian warbler sylvia melanocephala (Svarthodesanger) Singing high and mighty at that time of the year to attract a mate.
OK that is it for this time. Today..or more correctly tonight i am off to S ́albufera once again. This time to look for Melolontha melolontha.
