13th September 2012

Back to normal routine with an early trip to S'albufera. An overnight storm meant that the sky was overcast so viewing from the Sa Roca hides was easier than usual when early morning sun makes things difficult. A Temmink's Stint showed well in front of the 2nd hide as did a Little Egret.

In trees over the river from the Es Cibollar track several very noisy Cattle Egrets had gathered including this juvenile.

The walk to Es Cibollar looked like being a waste of time when I arrived to an empty mass of mud and water, just 2 distant Greenshank in sight. After 5 minutes I was set to leave when an Osprey appeared carrying a large fish and landed at the top of a pole in front of the hide. Though quite distant I started taking photos when 2 Eleanora's Falcons appeared and started noisily mobbing the Osprey.
