S’Albufera Overwhelms One

Won't forget today in a hurry for several reasons one being I had the entire Parc Natural to myself for about an hour n half.
I also reacquainted myself with a bird not seen here previously by me and the obvious choice for Stonker del Dia ๐Ÿ˜. A pr Gull-billed Tern.

A Great Reed Warbler, Purple Heron & Night Heron. Worth mentioning Night used to be in 3s n 4s over a decade ago but I think Little Egret has bossed em out. L Egret numbers c120. 2 /3 ๐Ÿ„ Egret also.

c25 Avocet similar Glossy Ibis. Greater Flamingo ๐Ÿฆฉ numbers at around 52 birds. 8/9 Common Tern ditto Sanderling. A couple Marsh Harrier a Kestrel and a way distant huge raptor high over the mountains remains incognito.

1 Purple Swamphen ditto Red Knobbed Coot. Marbled Teal with 7/8 newly hatched. More BW Stilts & Spotted Flycatcher. Couple Kentish Plover 8 LRP.
I could do with a holiday ๐Ÿ˜‚.
