13/04/2014 - Another earlyish start, although I had to tear myself from the Hotel window as it was memorising watching the Pallid Swifts whizz past at eye level. We caught the bus back to the airport where we were due to meet up with a nature group who would be our companions for the rest of the week (as this was our first foray into birding abroad we choose this option for the expertise that it brings). By mid afternoon, we had arrived at our new home in El Rocio for the next 4 nights. A brief afternoon birding trip provided an overwhelming number of birds from Collared Pratincoles to Whiskered Terns to Greater Flamingos to Crested Larks.

14/04/2014 to 16/04/2014 - Just too many activities to during these few days. We did a few walks in the surrounding Natural and National Parks, a trip to the Bonanza Salt Pans and an evening excursion to view Red Necked Nightjars. Again, the amount of birds seen were overwhelming but highlights included: Red Necked Nightjars, Booted Eagles, Spanish Imperial Eagle, Griffon Vultures, Honey Buzzards, Woodchat Shrikes, Purple Herons, White Storks, Zitting Cisticolas, Gull Billed Terns and Slender Billed Gulls. Below are just a few of my better photos.
