The visit by 11 members to the Ebro Delta on 21st-24th April was very successful with 94 or more bird species seen during the trip. The weather was just what we had hoped for – dry, sunny and warm. Everyone had their favourite sightings but, for birdwatchers from Britain, more than 75 night herons stood roosting in a field by the side of the road was special, as was 10 collared pratincole setting up nesting territories 15 metres from our footpath. In both cases, the birds filled the telescope eyepiece for all to see! For those of you who haven’t a clue what I’m talking about – put the bird names into a ‘Google search’ and see what you are missing! Many thanks to Geoff Gardner for the photographs supplied for the U3A website.
