Melodious Warbler

Taking into account that it was rather dull today and there was so little to see, we had the chance to watch and listen to some Melodious Warblers that were near the fresh water lake perched on a branch or  on a fence by the path. It had just stoped raining when one of them started singing tirelessly on the top of a tree.

But the Melodious Warbler weren't the only visitors in the park today. Alberto told us that he had seen a Little Bittern and a Night Heron in the evening, but we couldn't seen them. Besides, Leo told us he saw two Spoonbills. Even so, we couldn't see them, but what we could capture with a single shot of my camera were three solitary waders together: a Grey Heron, a Little Egret and a Great White Egret between Itzaberri and the airport.

And after that, a dozen of Cattle Egrets soared through the sky over our heads toward the north of Europe.
