Flamingos in Jerez, Spain
3 days in Spain and I have fulfilled a few wishes already:
I have seen and photographed (without much blur) Greater Flamingos
I have added to my Life List (bird species I have never seen before). I have actually added over 59 in 2 days and 102 species in total!
I am traveling with a Birding Guide who was born in the Canary Islands and
currently lives on the most southern tip of Spain - Tarifa (A place we will spend 4 days later in the week) and a couple from Ireland. So lucky to have such a small group.
I thought the hotels would be small and plain but actually quite nice even with the racetrack outside the second hotel. (nope, didn’t go visit!)
This journey is really all about a visual experience of Europe so here are some photos. But first a map of where I was today.
We are heading out on the water tomorrow from Cadiz for 4-6 hours to look for Europe’s version of Skau and other pelagic birds.
Birds featured in video:
- Glossy Ibis
- Pallid Swift
- Woodchat Shrike
- Northern Lapwing
- Yellow-crowned Bishop
- Greater Flamingo
- Common Redshank
- White Stork
