21st September 2023 (pm) – Isla Cristina

Oh what fun! On arrival here we had booked an excursion on a tuktuk to visit the town and its surroundings areas.

We hadn’t anticipated what a miserable evening it would be; but what else was there to do on such an evening?

Our driver and guide was full of life and proudly showed us his town. He also took us to some great birding sites but rarely stopped for us to take photos so I had to contend with taking photos us we drove along in the rain and the gloom.

At first, I was frustrated but soon I realised that, although we were to see a cornucopia of wonderful birdlife, I wasn’t going to get many decent shots.

Modern photo editing doesn’t show how gloomy it really was this evening

I was pleasantly surprised with what I did achieve.

The star of the show – an osprey

Just imagine how beautiful these flamingos would be with a bright blue sky!

Caspian terns

Black-winged stilt

Fortunately the weather forecast for tomorrow is good.
