It was marvelous to be in the company of The Old Git’s Birding Club again.
The day started with sunrise on my balcony, followed by the trip up north to begin birding at the depuradora, Albufera.
The conversation flowed explosively with a range of topics, peppered with jokes from our ever-hilarious Kevin.
It was so intense, we almost forgot to look for birds!
A Bluethroat popped out giving splendid views.
A few year ticks went into the notebooks but it was generally very quiet.
A break for a pie-eating session was followed by a visit to the main reserve.
The reserve was also very quiet but a few good birds were logged.
Wigeon, Teal, 3 Spoonbill, Water pipit, Osprey, Flamingoes and assorted common species were ticked.
I had to leave so hopefully one of the intrepid others will finish the story.
Thanks lads for another memorable day.
I won’t forget my days out with you. They are precious times.
