Sunrise at the Ebro Delta

Last weekend I visited the Ebro Delta National Park which is one of the largest wetlands in the western Mediterranean. I didn't spend any time specifically bird watching but the bird life there is truly abundant. We saw more herons than I've ever seen before in one place, great egrets, little egrets, swamphens, gulls, cormorants, plovers, lapwings and birds of prey (which I am embarrassingly unable to identify). What a great destination for the bird lover!

We watched a spectacular sunset from the Platja del Fangar and an even more amazing sunrise from close to Riumar. Here is a short video taken just before the sun appeared.
