Finding a wild spot in the city

It isn't always necessary to head out into the countryside to find some wildlife. Yesterday we were in the centre of Granollers, near one of the industrial estates, and we saw plenty of birdlife on the River Congost. Our best spot was an elegant grey heron (Ardea cinerea) of which I did not get a very good photo but which I will include here to show the urban environment in the background with all the graffiti! There were also many gulls who flew close to our camera when we were watching them from a footbridge over the river.
