Halloween ghost birds

On Halloween this year I saw a very special sight - hundreds of little egrets (Egretta garzetta) coming in to roost by the river in Granollers. The video does not do justice to the spectacle but it is worth sharing anyway, I think.

A surprise sighting

Last weekend we visited the beautiful Parc Laberint in Barcelona and were surprised to see a wild boar having his lunch without a care in the world and totally unfazed by our presence. Apparently the park is regularly visited by wild boar who, presumably, come from the nearby Collserola Natural Park.
