Mallorcan Waders


Back in April I spent a week on the island of Mallorca in Spain. Having been there quite a few times, I had a few species that I wanted to get better shots of. At that time of year you never know what you could find, with migration in full swing from Africa.
I spent quite a bit of time at the S'Albufera Marsh, in the north east of the island. It's a very large reserve with a great amount of birds. No two days are ever the same here, with something different to see on each visit. This post will show some of the wading birds I saw at the reserve.

Chatting on the Moors

I have spent some time recently on the moors in North Wales. Two of the typical moorland species I've been photographing are Stonechat and Whinchat. This is an ongoing project with lots more images to come, here are a few taken so far.
